Since this film was made the northern boundary of human habitation has moved south to Norðurfjörður, Reykjarfjörður (the northernmost inhabited farm at that time) is now only populated for a few months in summer. Horses and dogs have been outlawed, this part of Iceland is now the domain of the Arctic Fox - and lots of human backpackers.
I have one more that I could upload but it is very different from this one. It’s about an archaeological dig in one of the old bishoprics of Iceland, led by the narrator of this film.
Yes, he’s speaking Icelandic. In fact, this is a very old-school way of speaking and about as pure as you can get in terms of pronunciation. The narrator, Kristján Eldjárn, later became president of Iceland!
Icelandic Ponies are some of the hardiest horses in the world, though they are small they are very physically strong and full of energy; carrying grown adults, lugging tree trunks or weathering out an Icelandic Winter is no problem for them at all! The horses in the film were all in very good shape, they were clearly being looked after well by people who valued them and knew how to care for them properly.
A world without plastic. Remarkable!
You have no idea how much I hate plastics.
þetta er svo fallegt!

what is the priest snorting in 7:58 ?
It's called neftóbak (nose tobacco), in english it's called snuff
What did that dude snort at 8 minutes?
@@dylanlove130 that’s Icelandic snus, basically it’s tobacco that you snort. It’s still popular today, mainly with older people
Those poor horses.
They have been bred to do such work through millennia and anyway lived better lives than most people do today.

Horrible music
Ég vonaði að textarnir eru virkilega á íslensku. Ég gæti lært íslensku.
@@marcinminkowski345 því miður gerði ég bara á ensku. Get bætt íslensku við ef þig langar :)
