Arctic Heroes

"Arctic Heroes" is an impressive nonfiction book that highlights the fates of Greenland dogs, regarded as true heroes of the Arctic. Amid the challenges posed by climate change and the melting ice sheets, the survival of these sled dogs, which were once crucial for the Inuit, is threatened. The book features over 150 stunning photographs by Icelandic photographer Ragnar Axelsson, taken in Greenland between 1986 and 2020. These images, complemented by narratives from Inuit hunters, showcase the deep connection between the dogs and the lives of the hunters. "Arctic Heroes" is not only a tribute to these animals but also a poignant call to preserve their fate and that of the Arctic.
