The
Little Ice Age allowed a new wave of arctic foxes to colonise Iceland,
according to new research. A "bridge" of sea ice appeared during a dip
in temperatures between 200 to 500 years ago allowing arctic foxes to
migrate to Iceland from different Arctic regions including Russia, North
America and Greenland. Researchers say their findings showed the
importance of sea ice in creating and maintaining the genetic population
of the arctic fox across the polar regions where the animal is found.
