A century of life & labor
Welcome to our photo collection! Here, we have gathered and scanned precious photographs from the last century that capture the spirit of the town, along with the hardships and joy in the lives and work of the people of Ólafsfjörður throughout the years.
During the last century (the 20th century), Ólafsfjörður was a typical yet unique example of an Icelandic fishing village that rapidly transformed from a poor community of farmers and fishermen into a thriving, modernized fishing town.
