Visiting Iceland in the 1930s | Remastered with Sound
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2023
- 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 people and beautiful country!
No multi-culti !
@@MJODENGtotally a accord
Yes
@@Mickyway so like Germany if it wouldn't have lost the ww2 and been flooded with southerners and then Mossis N negroEs nowadays
No Slavs
Hard working and beautiful people.
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.
I am Icelandic and I am 46yo. It was not that much different in my youth. Great clip. More please.
No einherjer around must be something missing?
Iceland looked like such a chill place back then and still is now
1:23 It's really an Icelandic house from the 1930s? Mindblowing, looked so modern 🫨
Looks like Bauhaus. That style was quite popular in the 1930's.
And you can see Bjork's grandmother playing.
Nordic functionalism
"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'll all be ruined soon enough unless they stop the immigration from Africa

They all had such beautiful complexions.
Orange?
Fascinating and beautiful. They all looked so healthy, happy, wholesome and innocent. Not once did I see a poster, advert, etc. No influence from the entertainment industry compared to somewhere like Time Square.
By the start of the 20th century New York was already a soulless commercialized mess full of hamburger stands,hot dog vendors and choked in automobile traffic!!!
This is still true for the most Icelandic people
And no flocks of tourists as just now.

@@Guðmundur4369 ég var að tala um comment sem var eytt man ekki einu sinni hvað stóð
I am tempted to say this is the most beautiful video of its kind that I have come across on TH-cam - maybe because of the light blue hue going through most of the video which gives it a "pure" and "ideal" quality to it.
The image at 3:15 of the two women facing the snowed mountain while their hair is being brushed by a gentle wind is, to me, hypnotising.
I visited Iceland in 2016. Absolutely loved it - beautiful country.
I was stationed there in the US Air Force from Sept 1975 till Aug 1976. Iceland is a beautiful place and this is the first video I have seen of Iceland back in the 1930s. Great video. Thanks for sharing with us!!
I was stationed there from 1993 - 1994. Also US Air Force. I just went back last month with my wife. It's changed a lot. So many more tourists now and the military bases are gone.
Just a shame like most western countries it has become woke.
@@seeker406 thank god those are gone

@@asbisi in iceland ? Plastic surgery ?
Thank you for this, it's nice to see my country from the 40s before I was born
The people sadly may be long dead, but their lives, jobs, beautiful faces and smiles will live on forever, thanks to great YT video channels and uploads like this.
Please stop posting the people are dead now comments. Is that what you really think when you see these videos?
@@riproar11 Yes that's what I see!.. they are dead NOW, and am quite entitled to say what I see and believe, thank you very much.
TH-cam 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.
I'd love to witness a simpler time like this
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.
Gente maravillosa y bella, que tiempos más auténticos !
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.
Great video editing, watching this old footage brought to life really is a pleasure, Thank you, keep it coming...
Thank you :)
People look healthy beautiful and so happy! their food and environment were not poisoned yet and life was simple
This was near the back end of the radium craze though, people were literally walking around wearing radioactive makeup, filling their homes with radioactive items and some were even consuming radium in various forms of quack medicine. The past wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.
That said, I don't disagree that the people look healthy and happy, and as an Icelander myself I think it's a lovely video.
Healthy? They were a lot less healthy than today that's for sure.
These days many more people have allergies and asthma.
@@Pumbli Hmm... fish cannery workers wearing radium makeup? Did these fads actually spread outside of New York or Paris?
@@samuellowekey9271 I was going to jump the gun and argue that 100 years ago they'd die from tuberculosis before being diagnosed with an allergy... but no. The medical papers say that TB in Iceland was very rare until WW1; then it peaked in the 1930s and then abruptly waned to almost nothing. Very good for such high latitudes.
wow...ich bin tief beeindruckt! das ist ja unfassbar, wie dieses alte material aufgearbeitet wurde und plastisch wie aus dem ei gepellt das leben zeigt!
With a little imagination and your beautiful videos, you transport me to other times. incredible!!
Con un poco de imaginacion y tus hermosos videos, me transportas a otros tiempos. Es increible.
Thank you :)
A romantic video. The winters there are dark, cold and hard. Look at the women in this video working very hard processing the fish. Iceland is exceptionally beautiful and the people are cool but life was damn hard in the 30s
This. So many people romantisise Iceland but then don't know what a wasteland the whole island except for the coast is
La vie était plus dure mais peut etre pas moins heureuse.
A time when cell phones did not exist, there was practically no TV and no mass stupidity...people actually read, there was no tik tok, a worker *could buy a HOUSE* and support his family with his manual labor, that just blow my mind, people in their spare time learned to play piano...and not a friggin cover of Justin to get likes on IG, they learn Debussy for the personal pleasure. Ask yourself...why are we looking at this with romantic nostalgia?, modernity sucks...big, maybe more than a hard winter.
Men and women
Working hard
Winters are not so terribly cold, but it can be a tough cookie, all taken into account, like the crazy winds sometimes
This does little to persuade you that the past was not in fact somewhat more idyllic than the present.
4:16 - 8:16 The great herring fishing that boosted Iceland’s economy immeasurably. Then the herring just disappeared.
Overfishing does a number on fish populations
Excellent clip 👍👍👍 - looks very much like the Reykjavik of my childhood, it didn't change a lot for a long time...
@0:44 you see not Dr. Alexandrine but Dronning Alexandrine where dronning means queen. Alexandrine was the name of the Queen of Denmark.
I have been 6 or 7 times in Iceland. So nice and kind people. I think Reykjavik looks modern allready in the 30s in this movie
Very interesting and nice video . What a peaceful life people live there
Lived. It still is but it is different today
People working hard in the fish plant, whole day under the scorching sun.
Brave Icelanders

Wow! Beautiful, mesmerising… thank you.
Quite the fish processing , can’t imagine my better half coming home smelling like a fish each evening .
I'd rather smell of fish back then, if I lived then.. .than in todays mad world..
Fish wont harm you. Or the smell of it..
A beautiful country ❤

Well done clayton6499!
Surely today you are well clean and washed.
Now, rather than focussing on the outside compare your/our "inside" that is liver, kidneys, lungs and blood with the "inside" of these people who lived 90 years ago.
I know. The images emerging is simply gross and revolting.
Thank you "Progress".
@@pennylane9730mate fish absolutely stinks
Easier to imagine if you know that until recently, humans were mostly surrounded by bad smells. Something that smells good (perfume, spices) was a treat, while now it's a norm (and thus you can't imagine otherwise)
Looks very modern for the 30's....Cool!
Wow, incredible video. First to see a nation a tribe, not a kaleidoscope working together in harmony with their environment. Even though its not pc I love seeing white people and the civilizations we create. Love my people.........

@@ltgdr6298 Iceland was founded by viking raiders and Celtic women, if that's not the definition of multiculturalism...
@@Bolognabeef most european have similar culture as well as similar ethic/genetic background.
European despite have particularities, have enough in common to form a group, they are all christian, have been colonising each other for 2000 years etc. As well as all having Neanderthal DNA.
Just say that a French + German multiculuralism is the same as a French + Afghan multiculturalism and we can see the result of thoses differents multi culturalism all accros Europe. And as we see, multi culturalism is definetly not always a succes.
Great footage. Beautiful lifestyle and country. Reminds me of Ireland looking at this. These people were so fortunate not to be caught up in the horrors of WW II which was of course, just around the corner.
Thank you :)
They were thought, only a few years later. Several fishing boats were sunk by German u-boats on their way to the United Kingdom with cargo of fish
@@vividhistory2092 the sound of the sheep is wrong for Icelandic sheep, they bleat in a higher register
@@freyjasvansdottir9904 they were also occupied by the Americans.
@@Vingul The British first, and later the Americans took over.
Fantastic register
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.
Harvested !
@@johncollins3391 Yep. My Irish ancestors that came to Australia in the late 1800s didn't have much of a choice either, being indentured servants to an English Captain and his estate...
But, ultimately, they were hard working and resilient folk that went on to do well.
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.
This is what was at stake. This is what was fought over to preserve. And what was lost.
Only hell can bring it back now.

You mean how capitalism, corporate greed and mass-production, destroyed our small local communities? Now these young people who used to work in the fish market, instead go work in the supermarket for Mega Corp. X who bought and privatized half of the lands and gradually destroy the natural environment. I hope when you realize, corporate capitalism is the major reason for many changes.

Thank you so much. Unbelivable.
I never thought it was so built up and industrialized back then. Those big trawlers. I was still thinking quaint fishing village. But nope fully industrial. I think my impression was industrialization didn't come until the 50s. Well I guess refrigeration didn't come until the 50s. They were still salting them in barrels back then. The women are cuties.
Like a look at another world time passing brings us. I really enjoyed. At that time there were barely more than 100,000 people living in Iceland and in 2024 it will cross 400,000
1930 : 108.000
1940 : 121.000 in population
This clip is from 1939
Beautiful young women processing fish straight off the boats on the quayside.....can you imagine any of today's generation doing that ?
F. No! Worthless Sods.
Why mentioning 'beautiful'. It's subjective and it doesn't add anything

Back when Iceland still belonged to Denmark.
That time Iceland were an island of Denmark. But with their own local government.
It was a Kingdom in a personal union with Denmark.
@@andriandrason1318 who was the king of Iceland?
@@saibot7218 Who was the Prime Minister?
@@andriandrason1318 I don't know. You claim Iceland was a kingdom. I never heard that before. So who was the king of Iceland?
@@saibot7218 Just look it up.
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.
Wow, of all these I've seen, this is the best one yet. It is clear enough and the speed slow enough to feel like I am in a time machine peeping out the window at them. Do you think they got rid of the smell of fish from their noses and skin?
Looks surprisingly busy and prosperous.
It looks like in fairytale there. People looks very healthy.
The women look really fit and strong in this clip

Well yes but also those Women cutting fish was very low payed, especially compared to the Men 😕
Back when hard work was worth it, and you could buy yourself a house, a car, and retirement savings by cutting fish in the market.
Imagine the arctic ice cold winter without modern heaters and technology...
Iceland homes and buildings are heated by all of that hot geothermic water you see in the video.
@@riproar11did they have the technology in the 1930s?
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

That's the old house flag of Eimskip, understandably changed at some point after the second world war
Interesting video, do think some of the grain should have been retained though, it's so clean that it starts to look unreal
Still a part of Denmark at that time.
It was a fully sovereign state, an independent country in personal union with Denmark.
In the beginning it says Iceland 1940's - what is correct ? Fantastic restored by the way - Congrats :-)
All of the footage in this film is from 1939.
None of these people had anxiety, depression or ADHD, nobody's running around half naked with weird hair colors and everyone is elegantly dressed ...
I understand your point but they were still around just not known to us Humans.
How lucky is a country that doesn't have any wars, Gypsys, Albanians.... Etc
Yep… the uk is learning that the hard way
What's wrong with gypsies?
Well sadly that's just a thing of the past now. And i don't think this country is independent anymore. Despite housing crisis and overloaded infrastructure, 3rd world people are flooded to Iceland as for 2023 and that has been happening for years now. No common sense in that and it's the same as in other Western countries.
@@massacalvin The thing is USA policy for emigrants, is not working for everyone. First of all USA has 300.000.000 people and emigration doesn't mean anything but in a small country it's a big deal, it will change population, blood type, everything else.. An average Island couple has one child or two but a Muslim has 5-10 children.. Guess who is going to rool over Iceland in 10-20 years.
