Iceland
David Gibbon
This exhibition of Iceland's blue morph Arctic Fox features images by award-winning British wildlife photographer David Gibbon, who has been visiting the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve, in the far north of Iceland, every winter since 2017. David has won a number of awards for his arctic images, including twice in the prestigious Nature Photographer of the Year and a finalist in National Geographic's Travel Photographer of the Year.
Globally, the blue morph Arctic Fox is rare. In fact, over 90% of the world's Arctic Fox is white. In Iceland, over 80% of the Arctic Fox are blue morph making it a wonderful location to see what is the world's rarest of this beautiful species.
Arctic Fox arrived in Iceland during the last Ice Age, which ended more than 11,000 years ago, and is the country's only native land mammal.
Although still hunted in most of Iceland, the Icelandic Environment Agency gave Arctic Fox legal protection on the very remote Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in 1984 and this has allowed the area, which is 220 square miles in size, to become a sanctuary for them.
David has spent many years documenting Iceland's Arctic Fox and this collection of his images reveals this beautiful species as it struggles to find food and have a family in Iceland's harsh arctic winters.
David runs successful tours to photograph Arctic Fox on the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve in Iceland, taking small groups of photographers there each winter.
