"An arctic fox has walked more than 3,500km (2,000 miles) from Norway to
Canada in just 76 days, astonishing researchers at the Norwegian Polar
Institute.

The animal, known as a coastal or blue fox, was fitted with a tracking
device in July 2017. It left Spitsbergen in Norway’s Svalbard
archipelago on 26 March 2018. After 21 days and 1,512 km out on the sea
ice, it landed in Greenland on 16 April 2018. Its journey continued to
Ellesmere Island in Canada, where it arrived on 1 July."
