The photographer Ragnar Axelsson’s new book, “Arctic Heroes,” is an ode to Greenlandic sled dogs and the indigenous life style that they have sustained for millennia.
During springtime in the far, far north—when the sun breaches the horizon, after months of total darkness—indigenous Greenlandic hunters head out to frozen inlets and get lost in ice and time. By day, the hunters might move miles in one direction, while the ice under their feet floats gently in another. By night, detached floes drift about, shifting the landmarks as the hunters sleep.
The crack of a rifle, the grunt of a polar bear, the spout of an orca, the bone-on-bone clash of narwhal tusks. Ropes snap, skiffs break, fingers get exposed to the wind and frostbite quickly takes over. The eyes and ears become tuned to the sounds of survival—creaking sleds, calving glaciers, groaning sea ice, and the pattering footfalls of paws in the snow.
