Books by Ragnar Axelsson

Ragnar Axelsson was born in Iceland in 1958. He has been travelling to the Arctic for almost three decades, and his photographs of the continent have won him worldwide recognition. Highly acclaimed, he has been honoured as Icelandic Photographer of the Year on four occasions. His work in Greenland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Siberia has appeared across a range of print media, such as Stern, The New York Times, Le Figaro, Newsweek, Time and National Geographic. 'Rax' has exhibited at art expositions and museums throughout Europe and the U.S. The first edition of Last Days of the Arctic won critical acclaim, with photo features in The New York Times. Nominated Book of the Year in the (London) Times, it was described as 'a gift for the eyes, mind and heart'. The book was named one of the best photography books by the UK's Sunday Times and Germany's Die Welt. Axelsson's documentary of the same name was aired on the BBC and elsewhere, also to great acclaim.
