The Arctic Fox Centre in Súðavík, Westfjords, is a laid-back spot where you can learn all about Iceland’s only native land mammal, the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus). Opened in 2007 by a group of passionate locals, this non-profit center mixes fascinating exhibits with cozy vibes, offering insight into the fox’s behavior, biology, and conservation. You might even get to see live foxes hanging out on-site! With a charming café and a focus on research and eco-tourism, it’s the perfect place to chill out and connect with Iceland’s wild side.
