Vulpes lagopus
The Arctic Fox is the only native land mammal to Iceland. It came to Iceland at the end of the last ice age, walking over the frozen sea.
The Arctic Fox has a circumpolar range, meaning that it is found throughout the entire Arctic, including the outer edges of Greenland, Russia, Canada, Alaska, and Svalbard, as well as in Subarctic and alpine areas, such as Iceland and mainland alpine Scandinavia.

Great spotting!
Useless information of the day: the origin of the term "lagopus" is greek and literally means "harefoot". I'm guessing it's because of the shape or the size of the legs...
fabulous piece of information... wonder if they're much different from other arctic fox now
