Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 02. 2021
- 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.

With Greetings from Iceland
My grandmother and her sister are in this. Thats pretty cool to spot.
That's really wonderful, you are blessed my friend💛
May I please ask, in which clip they are seen? Thank you 🙏
How beautiful is this! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Blessings to you all from Georgia USA!
Thank you so much for your kindness :)
What a window into a different time!!! Beautiful and heartwarming! 💚🌍🍀✌️
Glad you enjoyed it
so many smiles. nowadays you'd get mistrustful glances. at least where I live....
People looked happier in those days for some reason.
The less you understand about the world the more conducive it is to personal happiness

So beautiful. Such happy people.
Life was simpler back then for sure...:)
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.
Yes I love those old videos but it's quite hard to find them here in iceland, and welcome :)
it is nice and the people was happy , and no problems and no war ,iceland a paradise on earth.
Always welcome :)
far from it
It would be interesting to compare the Westman Islands footage with today. Some of those houses were buried up to their roofs in lava.
Hehe, I have I giant work folder nearby with high res images for a time-lapse I'm making of since before, during and after the 1973 eruption... will be online in few weeks but its huge work to line all aerial shots up.. year by year...but it's huge fun to see this kind of stuff... and i'm glad u asked :)
Terrific! Hope you can do more of these.
Will do for sure :)
Very cool !!
Nice video! Thanks.
So interesting! Takk fyrir for sharing!
Welcome :)
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
What cute kids !!
Interesting choice of vacation spot just before WWII for old Eva. Taking lots of pictures of harbours and places. Hmmmm.
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
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Iceland didn't suffer from WWII, right? That's great.
Yes we did, my grandfather was one of those who died
No war and Peace was top. The best thing is that danish occupation endet in this time.. iceland got a free country
Thanks 👍
in 0:09 lower left a badly disfigured girl passing through...
Looked as her hand...but it's hard to say
@@JustIcelandic Yes, to me Iooks the face with a flesh patch on her right side as in surgery of the times. Of course, yes, is difficult to define. I hope is only a hand in "oh my gosh" attitude.
@@JustIcelandic ...but watch at the two young girls in the background that looks to her and the one at right raises her hand to the same side of her face, mmmh, has to investigate as in the film "Män som hatar kvinnor"
She looked just fine to me, her facial expression showed a slight and normal stress towards the never-before-seen noise film camera.
@@larsemilarnason4029 Yes, possible has hand toward the face, try slow but it is not so clear
