I’d like to introduce you to Ragnar Axelsson, an Icelandic photographer who is well-known for chronicling the lives of subsistence hunters, fishermen, and farmers in the Arctic, the North Atlantic, Northern Scandinavia, and Siberia.

Rax, as he is affectionately called, is a longtime Leica photographer with the instincts of a career photojournalist. His books, Faces of the North and The Last Days of the Arctic, tell a poignant story about climate change and its impact on our planet. While in Iceland, we met up to discuss photography, climate change, and life in the Far North.
