Fire on Heimaey

Fire on Heimaey

1990 · 29 min · ★ 6.3 · Documentary

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.

Directed by Ósvaldur Knudsen · Written by Sigurdur Thórarinsson

MovieDocumentary
Beautiful video clips of foxes in the wild and groundhogs in a spruce. Shown from the movement of two fox shooters. The toffee is shot and the greens are taken from the spruce. The Icelandic fox or melrakki has been native to this country for millennia and probably since the end of the Ice Age. It is expected that images of the disposal of the animals may affect children and vulnerable persons.
