W: In July, 2017, researchers from the Norwegian Polar Institute placed a tracking collar on a young arctic fox believed to be less than one year old. The collar allowed them to use a satellite to track the fox no matter where she went. Until March 24, 2018, the fox stayed on the island of Spitzenberg. Then, suddenly, on March 26, she left the island, traveling across the sea ice. Just 21 days and about 940 miles later, she arrived in Greenland. From Greenland, she carried on, and finally reached Ellesmere Island in Canada on July 1, traveling over 2,175 miles in total. Scientists shows that it’s the longest journey the arctic fox has ever made. In fact, it was probably the moving sea ice that helped the fox travel so quickly on some of the days that she covered great distances. However, scientists are not sure what happened to the fox. Its tracking collar stopped working in February, 2019. So they don’t know the fate of the record-setting arctic fox.
