The Arctic Fox Centre is a non-profit research and exhibition centre at Eyrardalur 4 in Sudavik in the Westfjords. Established on 15 September 2007, it focuses on the arctic fox, Iceland's only native terrestrial mammal.
What the Arctic Fox Centre is
The centre combines a public exhibition with research work on Icelandic arctic fox populations. For a broader regional overview, read the West Iceland guide.
The fox exhibition
The official centre describes its exhibition as the world's only exhibition dedicated to the Arctic Fox. Displays cover fox biology, relations between people and foxes, hunting, farming, and the species' status in Iceland.
Research and wildlife tourism
The organisation collects research material and works with academic centres on Icelandic arctic fox populations. This research role sits alongside the public exhibition.
