Line of the Arctic fox

Very view people visit the remote North West corner of Hornvik bay in Iceland during winter due to the extreme weather. The landscape is stunning and undisturbed wildlife curious. Every day the foxes would come down to the shoreline to hunt at low tide. The foxes chose a careful line down the steep slope. I love the way that the reflected lines of the wind-blown snow interact with the fresh fox prints. The recent mini avalanche helps determine the scale.
