This live stream points at the Óshólaviti lighthouse above the harbour of Bolungarvík in the Westfjords of Iceland. It is useful for seeing how the fjord and the sea look right now, before you plan a trip or simply to follow the Arctic weather as it moves in.
A fishing town at the edge of the fjords
Bolungarvík sits on the northern shore of the Westfjords, a rugged peninsula reached by a long road from Reykjavík. Fishing has shaped the town for generations, and its harbour is still a working one. The Óshólaviti lighthouse stands on a headland above the bay, a landmark for boats coming in from the open Denmark Strait. The landscape around it is steep, green in summer and dusted with snow in winter, with dramatic cliffs dropping into the water.
What to watch and when
The camera is categorised as a port view, so the most interesting moments are usually when boats leave or return and when the light changes over the water. Iceland's skies shift quickly, so cloud, fog and low sun can transform the scene within an hour. Long summer evenings bring soft light well after midnight, while winter views are shorter and often dramatic, with snow and storm clouds over the mountains. Depending on the view, you may notice weather moving across the fjord before it reaches the town.
Planning a visit
Bolungarvík is reached by road, and the drive through the Westfjords takes time, so check conditions before setting off, especially in winter. Summer, roughly June to August, offers the most open roads and the longest days. Nearby, Dyrafjörður lies about 35 km away, and Stykkishólmur, a town on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, is much further south at about 122 km. Those cameras are listed on this page for comparison of conditions across the region.
