This rapid climate change has had a devastating effect on the region's ecology and, consequently, on the Inuit peoples who depend on the Arctic ice for their livelihood and culture. Hailed as one of the greatest documentary photographers of our times, Ragnar Axelsson has been recording the changing face of life in the Arctic for some 30 years. This second edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Last Days of the Arctic\u003c\/em\u003e (which was first published in 2010 and quickly became a rarity) presents 160 of his stunning photographs from Canada and Greenland, with superb duotone printing, captions added for the black-and-white photographs and new images. Axelsson's gorgeous photographs show vast glaciers, sleds gliding across ice and houses buried in snow, but they also depict how the Inuit's changing way of life prefigures the changes that are on their way to the rest of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRagnar Axelsson\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Iceland in 1958.
