Most arctic foxes go white for the winter. The blue morph doesn't — it stays this smoky charcoal all year, which in deep snow makes it the most visible animal in Iceland. I lay down in it and waited; the fox was far more relaxed about the arrangement than I was. Almost no colour in the frame at all: dark fur, white ground, and a pair of eyes doing the work.
