What happens

Omkring en sø i Island er en dansk naturfilm fra 1954. Island er en vulkanø og består derfor hovedsagelig af lava, men ved vandløbene og søerne er der en afvekslende plantevækst og et rigt fugleliv. Ved søen Myvatn ser man den nordiske lappedykker, odinshanen og forskellige anderacer. Der vises også et eksempel på de karakteristiske islandske gårde. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
