The Rock Ptarmigan, a resilient bird native to Iceland, showcases a remarkable adaptation through its seasonal plumage change. In summer, its feathers blend with the mossy rocks and scrub, featuring mottled brown, black, and grey colours. Come winter, its coat turns entirely white, camouflaging it against the snow, an essential survival trait. These birds inhabit Iceland's rugged terrains from lowlands tundras to mountainous areas, displaying incredible adaptability to the island's varying climates and proving their unique place in Iceland's diverse ecosystem.
