It is a great place for hikers, but also an excellent place for people interested in wildlife, because the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is home to the largest terrestrial mammal in Iceland. The Arctic fox. I traveled to \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur in the Westfjords to participate in a wonderful tour to see Arctic foxes in their natural environment. It was an amazing experience!

Puffins. Or Icelandic horses. Iceland is an extraordinary and beautiful place for people interested in animals. And, of course, for people in general interested in nature, volcanoes, Vikings, and other typical Nordic topics. However, although I am always very enthusiastic about marine mammals or birds in general, in Iceland, I must admit, my encounter with the Arctic foxes in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve was one of the most unique and special encounters I had during my two-week journey through Iceland.<\/p>\n<p>I still feel so privileged to have been able to see Arctic foxes in Iceland.<\/p>\n<p>And I experienced the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve as one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I don't want to use too many exaggerations, but in this case I have to. The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve showed me its most beautiful sides.

I heard hikers talking about sleeping in their tents in the middle of the wilderness waking up spotting some Arctic foxes close-by.<\/p>\n<p>Would I be able to see an Arctic fox in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve?<\/p>\n<p>I was hoping so much.<\/p>\n<p>They say that because hunting is banned in the nature reserve and because of the bird-rich cliffs \u2013 especially in the Hornv\u00edk bay \u2013 the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve is a haven for Arctic foxes.<\/p>\n<p>Well, in the next paragraph I write more about the place where we stayed for the next three days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-14\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-14-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-14-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-25317\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-6-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve (6)\" alt=\"The Hornstrandir Nature Reserve\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-15\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-15-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-15-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-25317-15-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Information:<\/strong> <\/span>Are you interested in hiking in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve?

But for sure, there are more challenging hikes in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve. I love hiking and I would have loved to participate in more challenging hikes. However, as I planned to stay in the nature reserve because of the Arctic foxes, I did not decide for a tour with more challenging hikes or changing places every night, respectively. I carried a camera, and thus, these kind of hikes around the Kv\u00edar Lodge were just perfect for me.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the green, the blue, and the white just took my breath away.

Everything was just perfect.<\/p>\n<p>After some time, one of the guides left to prepare lunch for us. We could stay a little bit longer, but after some more time we also had to leave and hiked back to the Kv\u00edar Lodge.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, we just did hikes around the Kv\u00edar Lodge. However, it is also possible to hike from another place to the Kv\u00edar Lodge. Every afternoon we met some new people who waited for the next boat which would bring them back to \u00cdsafj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/p>\n<p>I was curious about what to find behind the hills that surrounded the Kv\u00edar Lodge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-68\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-68-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div

there more Arctic foxes around the den? Maybe there were and we just did not see them.<\/p>\n<p>A den is a shelter for an Arctic fox. Typically, a female and her cubs share a den during the breeding season. This means, that during the breeding season males and females can be distinguished by the fur on the sides. While females lose their fur on the sides when she presses herself into the den, males do not, as they rarely go into the den during the breeding season.<\/p>\n<p>In some areas it can be difficult for the Arctic foxes to make new dens like e.g., in the Westfjords. Therefore, many dens have been used by Arctic foxes for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>For how long have the Arctic foxes used the den behind the Kv\u00edar Lodge?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-96\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-96-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-96-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"111\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-25317\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-59-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve (59)\" alt=\"Arctic foxes in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-97\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-97-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-97-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"112\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>I cannot tell.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I just observed the cute little Arctic fox while it was not in the den.<\/p>\n<p>Vixens usually give birth to their offspring in mid or late May. In the first 3 to 4 weeks, they feed on milk and stay inside of the den. After the first weeks, cubs move outside the den and begin to feed on solid food. Both females and males bring food to the den. Sometimes, one-year-old females of the previous year may help feeding the new cubs.<\/p>\n<p>As I was at the Kv\u00edar Lodge in mid-July, this Arctic fox might have had an age of about two months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-98\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-98-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-98-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"113\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-25317\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-60-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve (60)\" alt=\"Arctic foxes in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-99\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-99-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-99-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"114\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p>Interestingly, Arctic foxes breed annually in Iceland, while in other areas like in Scandinavia, Greenland, Alaska or Canada, Arctic foxes might breed only every 3-5 years, depending on their food source \u2013 the lemmings. When lemmings peak in numbers, Arctic foxes are extremely fertile while in other years, when the number of lemmings is low, only few Arctic foxes manage to breed successfully. In these regions litters of 18-20 cubs are normal.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, there are good chances to see Arctic fox cubs every year behind the Kv\u00edar Lodge in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve.<\/p>\n<p>The Arctic fox in Iceland is a generalist and feeds on various food sources, mainly on birds.<\/p>\n<p>In winter, food is scarce, but Arctic foxes are adapted to these seasonal fluctuations. They even catch surplus food for eating later.<\/p>\n<p>They also feed on crustaceans and small fishes. Even crowberries, moth larva and honey bees were already found in the stomachs of Arctic foxes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-100\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-100-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-100-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"115\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-image so-widget-sow-image-default-8b5b6f678277-25317\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"sow-image-container\">\n\t\t<img \n\tsrc=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62.jpg\" width=\"1336\" height=\"891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62.jpg 1336w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve-62-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1336px) 100vw, 1336px\" title=\"Arctic-foxes-in-the-Hornstrandir-Nature-Reserve (62)\" alt=\"Arctic foxes in the Hornstrandir Nature Reserve\" \t\tclass=\"so-widget-image\"\/>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-25317-101\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-25317-101-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-25317-101-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"116\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-25317-101-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Interesting:<\/strong><\/span> Did you know that some Arctic foxes in the Westfjords have purple bones?
