The arctic fox lives in the arctic tundra.The arctic tundra is located in parts of North America, Europe and Asia.The arctic has a cold dry climate and a frozen ground.The average temperature in-the winter is -34 degrees celsius and on the coldest days the temperature is -45 degrees celsius.In the summer the temperature ranges between 3 degrees celsius and 12 degrees celsius.The amount of rain the arctic gets each year is less than 10 inches a year.

The arctic foxes fur turns white in the winter to blend into the snow to hide from predators and so their prey can’t see them.They also have thick fur so they can keep warm.Also they have short ears to hear their prey under the snow.
