I stumbled on this video and find it rather nice. Reykjavík was pretty interesting even back then. “Population 21 thousand, police force of three”. A few buildings in the film are still there and the hot spring laundry is still there but only as an historical artifact. Enjoy.

I loved watching this! How completely interesting – I wish I could show it to my sweetie’s Mom (she lives in Florida) but she doesn’t have a computer.
When is your next trip?
Yeah I loved it myself. Even the 1st scene “We arrived … at midnight” and there we are looking like an average Reykja afternoon. A subtle thing to notice but clever. So it must be June.
I missed my chance to go this fall once the kreppa hit me pretty hard. If things get a lot better soon I’ll go this summer. I need to see it in perpetual daylight too. But the night sky is amazing and the colours at twilight (that can last a few hours) are beautiful. You just have to stay up a lot later to catch it in summer.
I picture myself sitting in a comfy chair on a bluff sipping Brennivín and watching the sunset. Then turning the chair a few degrees while pouring a fresh glass to watch the sunrise a short while later.
Yeah, the <a href=http://picasaweb.google.com/safonovsafonov/ICEland2009#5366037200226093090 at 1:30 are still the same even today. Yea, confirming Vikingsson’s about twilight, that’s stunning! Nice video
BTW, just even think – none of them are still alive right now. And the video remains. Live are so short, so travel and see as much as you dream about.
Wow, thinking about seeing history like that does indeed gives me the inspiration to travel more. To heck with the money, I’m going. This summer will be crazy busy for tourists so I’ll keep an eye out. I rather enjoyed going in the winter but really should go during summer.
