  • Remastered scenes showing Iceland in the 1930s. First, we see the capital Reykjavik from the air. Next: Street life in Reykjavik with cars and people. M/S "Dr. Alexandrine" at quay. Everyday life in the harbor. The bus station. Hot springs and large outdoor washing in a hot spring in a "washing machine". Modern swimming pool in Reykjavik, open-air swimmers and a private swimming pool. Horses in the countryside, farm with cattle.
    Fishing is Iceland's main industry. The herring fishery alone brings in DKK 20-25 million for Iceland in a few summer months. Seascapes with many fishing vessels. Schools of herring ripple the surface of the water. Boats cooperate with the net and catch herring in a circle, they 'tighten' the net, and large quantities of herring are lifted from the sea. The cargo is sailed into Siglufjord, Iceland's headquarters for the herring industry. Working life and great bustle in Siglufjord. The different work processes for men, women, young and old are depicted - herring is cleaned, salted, and put into barrels. Sunday promenade in Siglufjord, where there are mountains of herring barrels.
    When autumn approaches, sheep and horses are driven together. Flocks of sheep and horses are kept in paddocks.

    Beautiful video but one thing you'll notice in the restored audio is the sound of squirrels etc, and bugs like crickets or cicadas. These animals and bugs don't live in iceland, and the only wildlife you'll hear are seabirds if you're near the water. Gorgeous video again, I live here now and it's so interesting to see how different, yet familiar it is!

      yeah he reuses the same stock sounds. For example the chirp pattern at 2:30 can be heard also in his other video "A Summer in Copenhagen 1935 | Remastered with Sound" at 1:52. Still, it adds to the nice atmosphere and even so it must've been a lot of work which is admirable.

      "Modernism" was literally the style invented in the 1930s, and there really hasn't been any significant style inventions since then, architects just recycling old styles, mostly modernist style, occasionally mixing things up calling it "post modernism".

    It's beautiful seeing the fish-maidens at 6:53 plying their trade. My grandfather captained a merchant vessel during the 1930s and 40s on the route between Iceland and the Shetland Isles. When I was young he'd often recount tales of the young ladies in Reykjavik he met on his travels. After spending their days splitting herrings wide open and revealing their moist pink flesh they wanted nothing more than some malodorous seamen in about them. His enduring anecdote was of the time he acquainted himself down below with seven Icelandic girls on top of a pile of day-old cod. It was mid-summer and he said the stench was horrendous, but the cod smelled glorious. Whenever he got a chippy-tea he always had a peculiar glint in his eye as he laid a tea-towel across his lap.

    I am tempted to say this is the most beautiful video of its kind that I have come across on RUclips - maybe because of the light blue hue going through most of the video which gives it a "pure" and "ideal" quality to it.

      RUclips is here for anyone to make reasonable comments, without others telling them what to do or say. What is it you cant quite see or understand exactly when you see these people?
      Death to me is a natural process of life, we all sadly die, I don't want to die, no sane person wants to, but the fact is we all do! Yes its quite horrible, but by pointing out that fact, it makes these very old films which have been converted to videos, even more poignant. The fact these people once lived, smiled and loved, felt the sun on their faces and wind in their hair just like we do today, but are now ALL dead, should remind us all to respect life and that we are not immortal ourselves!
      Believing these people are somehow still alive or choosing to remember them as still alive, to me, is both credulous, pitiful and naïve. I shall continue to post what I like. Life to me is very important, and respecting the dead also.

    During my seagoing days I was working on a medium sized bulk carrier in the early 1990's when we carried aluminium oxide all the way from the Northern territories, Australia to Straumsvik just south of Reykavik. The aluminium factory was just along from the pier and in just 24 hours the oxide was turned into aluminium ingots. The chartering agent came over from Oslo to meet the shipment. He told me that the Norwegian language was near the same as Icelandic, but when he got speaking to the local agent they got bogged down and had to revert to English. He explained to me that Icelandic is derived from the ancient Norwegian that was spoken in the far north of Norway. I learned that the Icelanders are quite proud of their Irish connection vis a vie St Brendan the voyager, but probably the more likely reason for the mixed DNA is the harvesting of females from Ireland a thousand or more years ago. Notice the shawl on one of the women, that is reminiscent of rural Ireland not so long ago.

      G'day.
      I grew up in Darwin, capital city of the Northern Territory, although currently living in southern Tasmania.
      And, yes, the high percentage of Irish DNA present in today's Icelandic population is thought to have come from Irish women taken from their homeland. Apparently, most Norwegian women weren't too keen on moving to the newly discovered Iceland.
      Be well.

      @@Oinnelstan I'm just over the ditch in the South island of Kiwiland where I've been for 23 years. The reason being my late wife was a native. I'm Irish born and bred till I departed the old sod at 18 in search of adventure and greener pastures. Through the DNA tracing I've recently discovered I have a relative living in Brisbane, a descendant of a cousin who left Co Cork in the late 1800's. Having lived in England for some 17 years on and off, I can honestly say I felt more at home in Aussie than I ever did in England. Being Irish in England you are pigeon holed for life no matter how long you've lived there. Always a Paddy from Ireland.

      The Danish-Icelandic Act of Union, an agreement with Denmark signed on 1 December 1918 and valid for 25 years, recognised Iceland as a fully sovereign and independent state in a personal union with Denmark. The Government of Iceland established an embassy in Copenhagen and requested that Denmark carry out on its behalf certain defence and foreign affairs matters, subject to consultation with the Althing. Danish embassies around the world displayed two coats of arms and two flags: those of the Kingdom of Denmark and those of the Kingdom of Iceland. Iceland's legal position became comparable to those of countries belonging to the Commonwealth of Nations, such as Canada, whose sovereign is King Charles III.
