Being foxy

Being foxy
DSC 1629 DSC 1577

In 2014 I travelled on a simple expedition boat, a converted Russian icebreaker, run by a New Zealand company, around remote parts of Kamchatka and the Bering Sea islands in the Russian Far East. There were 45 of us in board in waterproofs and wellington boots. We tramped about the tundra tracking Kamchatka bears, walruses, and watched whales and sea birds and critters for 14 days. We landed on uninhabited Bering Island, and had fun with some juvenile Arctic foxes in their summer coats. They were totally unafraid, and came up to us as we sat on a windswept empty beach. One even nibbled my trousers ( middle picture) . Bering said of these animals that they had no fear and were a complete pest, raiding everything they could get into.
It was a magical afternoon!
Happy Wednesday!
