The tundra swan, Cygnus columbianus



Polar bear Ursus maritimus and cubs



The arctic ermine, Mustela erminea


A snow owl Bubo scandiacus in low flight



Arctic hares, Lepus arcticus



The rock Ptarmigan Lagopus muta in winter



The artic Tern, Sterna paradisaea



A baby harp seal, Pagophilus groenlandicus


Or even...
A snow cat :)
