This live camera looks out over Hammerfest, a small port town on the island of Kvaløya in Finnmark, one of the most northerly towns in Norway. It is a useful way to see the sea, the sky and the light of the Arctic coast without leaving home.
About Hammerfest
Hammerfest sits close to sea level on the coast of the Barents Sea and is often described as the northernmost town of its size in the world. Its history is tied to fishing, the sea and the long Arctic winters, and it has a lively harbour, a strong maritime character and the nearby mountains rising above the town. The surrounding landscape is open tundra, rocky shores and wide skies.
What the camera shows
Because the feed is listed as a town and harbour camera, you can expect to follow the water, boats and changes in the weather over the coast. The scene changes a great deal with the seasons. In winter the days are very short and the light is soft and blue, while in summer the sun stays above the horizon for weeks, so the view remains bright at all hours. Watch in the early morning or late evening for the most dramatic light.
Climate and getting there
Hammerfest has a cold maritime climate, milder than its latitude suggests thanks to the Gulf Stream, with cool summers and cold, windy winters. The best months to visit are June to August. Nearby live cameras in the region include Breivikbotn, Kaiskuru, Alta and Kamoyvaer, which give a wider picture of conditions across Finnmark.
