Sigurdur Thórarinsson

Swedish-Icelandic documentary film commissioned by Iceland's tourist board, which in magnificent color photography links the heritage from the fairy tale era with contemporary Iceland. The film was produced in two language versions – one in Swedish and one in Icelandic – different soundtracks and subtitles, but where the moving images were the same.

A film about scientific research on the glacier Vatnajökull with excerpts from films taken on the glacier by various film makers in the past.

The film, which is based on earlier footage taken by Steindór Sigurðsson, Árni Stefánsson & Guðmundur Einarsson, describes the volcanic eruption in Mt. Hekla in 1947/1948.

Beautiful documentary by Osvaldur Knudsen about the eruption on Heimaey in the Vestmann Islands in 1973 (South of Iceland). The eruption destroyed some 30% of the town's houses and lasted for more than 5 months. Nice narration like in the old days and some nice sound(track) by Magnus Bl. Johannsson.

A short documentary showing the formation of an island from lava and other volcanic activity.
