  • This is a category that I've been thinking about for a while as an addition to my video collection about the history of Iceland. Old footage from my country is however very hard to find in decent quality but this time I got lucky.
    Channel support:
    I appreciate all support since it's no easy task for me to work in this limited market from Iceland but it's a long term thinking behind the channel so i don't complain so much.
    Channel support is however highly appreciated and need to help me to cover travel expenses going after footage for the channel.

    I have two Print on Demand stores that i'm developing little by little from the spirit of the channel and inspiration from Icelandic nature.
    My Redbubble store is here: gylfigylfa.redbubble.com
    And here is my Spring store: justicelandic.creator-spring.com
    New: My Adobe Stock collection of commercial footage:

    It was long ago but awesome to know that the kids in these videos are still living. Probably some of the teenagers and also very few early 20s that are still living. They are probably in the late 80s and early 90s by now.

    It would be interesting to compare the Westman Islands footage with today. Some of those houses were buried up to their roofs in lava.

    This is an important video, and I'm glad that it is up. I would say it's important to mention it was taken by Eva Braun in 1939. Yes, that Eva Braun.

      I know, for me it's important for the rare video quality back then and it's simply very, very hard to find videos from Iceland from this era
