In summer Arctic land loses white dress as sun and wind darken snow with dust. Foxes ducks and other animals adopt a temporary darker coat to blend with the exposed background. In winter white reappears as bears, seals, and birds rely on snow and ice. The bear carefully stalks seals and the seal often naps near breathing holes.
