## Caption

“During my most recent visit to Svalbard, I had an epic encounter with an Arctic fox that has forever changed me. This little one took me by surprise. I always try to avoid getting too close to wildlife, but this one was so curious it ran straight up to me, so close I had to put my Alpha 1 + 400mm F2.8 G Master down and just enjoy the moment. I sat there as still and as quiet as I could, & it felt comfortable enough to roll over & show me its belly! They have become one of my favorite animals & I now lead a small workshop group to photograph them each year. Due to the climate crisis, arctic foxes are estimated to be gone within 3 generations, so we must do everything we can to protect them / stop that from happening!⁣ They are amazing creatures that can live in the most punishing cold. Their fur is their warmth + their protection & changes colors with the seasons to act as camouflage.⁣ In 2018 a young arctic fox travelled over 2,700 miles on the sea ice from Svalbard to Canada. This is the longest journey ever recorded by one of these little amazing creatures, so amazing 🦊🤍” — Sony Alpha Collective Member charlysavely #SonyAlpha #AlphaCollective #wildlifephotography #articfox
