This camera looks west across Iceland's capital from the Perlan complex on Öskjuhlíð hill. It is a practical way to see how the city and the bay look right now before you head out. The live player is joined by local time and weather for Reykjavík.
About the place
Perlan sits on a wooded hill just south of the city centre, built around large geothermal water tanks that supply Reykjavík. The hill gives an open outlook over the harbour and the surrounding lowlands. Reykjavík is the northernmost capital in the world and is known for its colourful houses, museums and its position between mountains and sea.
What to watch
The western view is most useful for following the light and cloud over the city and the water. Depending on the weather, you may see low cloud rolling in, sunlight breaking through, or the sky changing quickly in typical Icelandic fashion. Evening light in the long summer months and clear winter nights are often the most rewarding times to check in.
Practical notes
Reykjavík has a cool maritime climate, with mild summers and winters that are wet and windy rather than severely cold. Wind and rain can change conditions within hours, so the live weather on this page is worth checking. Three other cameras from the same hill, facing east, south and north, are listed nearby for a fuller picture of the area.
