Photo: Little ghost: Arctic fox forages for food in Nanisivik

Little ghost: an Arctic fox searches for food along the shoreline near the future Nanisivik naval facility in late October 2014. According to National Geographic, Arctic foxes are incredibly hardy and, with their furry paws, short ears and resilient demeanor, can survive even when temperatures dip to -50 C, sometimes tunneling into the snow during blizzards to seek shelter.
