Snowy Owl on the Polar Coast

Snowy owls inhabit the open tundra and coastal regions of the high Arctic. In these remote northern landscapes, wooden trapper cabins and sturdy snow sleds serve as essential shelters and transportation tools for tundra travelers.

Adaptations to the Frozen North

Unlike most owls, snowy owls hunt primarily during the day, taking advantage of continuous polar daylight during Arctic summers. Their dense layer of down feathers extends all the way down to their toes, providing insulation against subzero winds. On the open treeless coast, elevated rocks and cabin rooftops give snowy owls clear sightlines over vast snowfields.

True Colors of the Arctic Scene

  • Adult male snowy owl plumage: almost entirely pure white feathers
  • Female and young snowy owl plumage: white plumage accented with dark brown horizontal bars
  • Snowy owl eyes: bright golden yellow
  • Coastal tundra rocks: dark slate gray or weathered granite brown
  • Wooden sled and cabin: rustic dark brown timber with white snow caps
