"The Arctic Fox Center, tucked away in the tiny Westfjords village of Súðavík, is dedicated to the only landmammal native to Iceland . The nonprofit research institution and exhibition center was set up in 2007 by a group of enthusiasts and scientists to collect all kinds of information about the animal. Located inside a renovated farmstead (one of the oldest buildings in the area), it offers an exhibition thatexplains thatthe arctic foxprobably arrived in Iceland via ice floes from Greenland, is larger than the European fox, and has a distinctive dark blue summer coat that turns white in winter. The venue also has an on-site café and a couple of orphaned foxes in the backyard."
