Archival air photos at LMÍ
Last Friday, I went to Akranes, a town about 40 minutes north of Reykjavík, to visit the offices of the National Land Survey of Iceland - Landmælingar Íslands - to look at their collection of air photos that date back to the 1950s. Although lots of changes happened to the land in the late 20th century, including expanding hayfields, building new roads, and draining wetlands, most of these activities were only just beginning in Skagafjörður in the 1950s and 60s. These images will give us a rare glimpse at the older agricultural landscape of Hegranes.
