Description
For over 40 years, Ragnar Axelsson, shortlisted photographer for Human, has been photographing the remote Arctic regions, including Iceland, Siberia, and Greenland. His lens documents how climate change is profoundly altering the lives of Arctic people and their environment. The Arctic is experiencing rapid change—melting sea ice, receding glaciers, and the abandonment of Inuit hunting villages. Ancient traditions are disappearing. Ragnar's mission is to preserve this history through his photography. In our latest Prix Pictet episode, Ragnar Axelsson shares his unique perspective on the Arctic, its people, and their struggle against global warming. Join us as he gives voice to those living in the Arctic and highlights the need to address climate change.
