Just in time for the chilly months, here’s an Arctic fox catching its breath in Spitsbergen, Svalbard. The temperature at the time of this photo was minus-31 degree Fahrenheit (minus-35 degree Celsius) temperatures, the type of chill that can take your breath away. Arctic foxes can be hard to photograph since they’re so active, but this little one stopped to relax long enough for Marco Gaiotti to snap this shot.
