Not far from the North Pole are the Svalbard Islands, frozen lands of snow and ice. At a temperature of -22° C in the middle of a hypnotic white universe, a solitary Arctic fox appears, almost imperceptible due to its ice-colored soft coat. Camouflage, sharp (acute) eyesight and a fine sense of smell are its allies for capturing prey hidden under the snow.
