Visiting Iceland in the 1930s | Remastered with Sound
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!

KZread 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.

Thank you for this, it's nice to see my country from the 40s before I was born
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.
Thank you for this video. Grew up in Reykjavik the ‘80 and ‘90 in a house similar to the one at 1:23 and close to the place they washed the clothes in the hot water (Þvottalaugarnar). We used to play there. Granted, Reykjavik was a bit different and more modern, but the general feeling of freedom was the same.
I'd love to witness a simpler time like this

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.

no they did not. iceland was going through a rapid modernization in the 30's from being one of the poorest countries in europe. an for many of the working class that was totally still the case. one thing that many foreigners misunderstand is that we use geotherman energy around the country, thats not the case, its only on the south side. the rest of it uses electric, usually hydro plants

I've been wondering for a while. Is the muted pastel colour scheme, the similar tonal 'sepia wash' that is prevelant in all these remastered, colourised videos, an intentional choice or just how that software limitations or otherwise ends up rendering the colours ?
