Most people believe that Arctic foxes are getting white in wintertime, but it is not always the case. Only the ones from the so called White morph will do, while the Blue morph ones will keep their chocolate brown color all year long. This belief is mainly based on the 20th century fur fashion, where the White morph fox furs were the most valuables, and the only ones that were traded. A white fox pelt was traded for 3 polar bear ones. In Iceland, only one third of the Arctic foxes are of the white morph, while the other two thirds are of the blue morph. In some coastal areas like the Westfjords, the proportion goes down to less than 20% of white foxes, which make their encounter even more rare.
This 1/1 NFT comes with 2 physical extras: A 40x60cm Fine art print (signed and numbered) and a copy of the book Melrakki (to be published before end 2022)
A collection for Arctic fox conservation. Melrakki is the Icelandic name of the Arctic fox, the only native terrestrial mammal surviving in Iceland since the last glaciation. On top of facing global warming, growing human use of their territory and pollution of their food sources (ocean and seabirds), the foxes are still considered pests by law and heavily hunted across the country. Phil Garcia has been studying and photographing the Arctic fox for 10 years. The Melrakki collection features 15 of his best images in 1/1 edition (plus physical extras with every NFT: 40x60cm signed print and a book). The full profits of this NFT collection will be used in actions aimed at raising people's awareness on the unsustainable fox situation. A book will be published and distributed to all schools and libraries all over the country. It's part of a global fight to push the government to reconsider the hunting of Arctic foxes and help setting up efficient conservation plans.
