<P> The Arctic fox has a circumpolar distribution and occurs in Arctic tundra habitats in northern Europe , northern Asia , and North America . Its range includes Greenland , Iceland , Fennoscandia , Svalbard , Jan Mayen ( where it was hunted to extinction ) and other islands in the Barents Sea , northern Russia , islands in the Bering Sea , Alaska , and Canada as far south as Hudson Bay . In the late 19th century , it was introduced into the Aleutian Islands southwest of Alaska . However , the population on the Aleutian Islands is currently being eradicated in conservation efforts to preserve the local bird population . It mostly inhabits tundra and pack ice , but is also present in boreal forests in Canada and the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska . They are found at elevations up to 3,000 m ( 9,800 ft ) above sea level and have been seen on sea ice close to the North Pole . </P>
