Arctic Fox at Varanger
Out on the Varanger Peninsula, where Finnmark's treeless tundra runs to the wind-scoured cliffs and open fjords of the Barents Sea, the Arctic fox finds a landscape stark enough to suit its far-northern habits. This is remote territory, well above the Arctic Circle, and photographers joining the Winter Wildlife of Arctic Varanger holiday should come prepared for exposed coastal conditions and long, patient waits. April is the month to visit, when the tundra light and lingering winter conditions offer the best chance of an encounter. Patience and warm layers are essential companions here, as much as your camera gear.
