Metaphorically, if the earth were flat, the Chukotka region would be on the edge of that plate. In this remote northern region of Russia, where spring and summer do not exist, and where life can be very harsh, one photographer found beauty among the inhabitants of this area - foxes!

Ivan Kislov lives in the port city of Magadan, and in fact, works as a mining engineer and uses his spare time for photographs. During long shifts at work, taking pictures is a "relaxation from routine".

He uses long walks to observe nature, and he adores "hikes to inaccessible places, rafting." He likes to photograph all animal inhabitants, from wolves, bears, deer ... but the foxes have some unique charm; they love to pose.

"Foxes are curious and can come very close, and I shoot with wide-angle and telephoto lenses."

A family.

This little guy is all wet.

Change of seasons also means fur change.

Playing

Stretching after getting some sleep.

Foxes kissing.

They are inquisitive creatures.

Young ones playing.

Enjoying the sun.

They can even laugh.

They keep each other warm.

What is this? Should I eat it?

Just gazing into the distance.

Mom is looking after her cubs.

Sometimes it can get freezing.

Cubs are hugging each other.

This one is angry.

You can see how strong are the winds in that region.

Such beautiful creatures.

Some howling to gather the family.

Mother nursing her cubs.

And here is the author.
