The Arctic Fox is Iceland’s only native land mammal. Today you will travel to Iceland (virtually, of course) to learn about this beautiful, fascinating animal. Ester has traveled every inch of her country, searched every nook and cranny, to uncover the secret and not-so-secret behaviors of the Arfctic Fox. Her work is the subject of an upcoming book, “Melrakki, The Surviving Arctic Fox”. The book is a completely revised edition of Phil Garcia’s first book published by Explographe in 2016. This new version is not just a beautiful photography book, but also includes an extensive scientific text by Ester.
