About Reykjavík
Reykjavík is Iceland's capital and the gateway for most trips around the island, set on a bay with the long ridge of Esja across the water. Weather comes in fast off the North Atlantic, and in midwinter there are only a few hours of daylight. This Reykjavík live cam looks over the city from Perlan, and the Bláfjöll webcam shows the capital's ski area in the hills to the south-east.
Which Reykjavík webcam to check first
Start with the Perlan stream for light, cloud and wind over the city. For skiing, open the Bláfjöll webcam: the ski area is higher and often much snowier than town.
Before you go to Reykjavík
Check the Icelandic Met Office forecast and road conditions before you drive anywhere outside the city. Winter storms can close roads and the Bláfjöll ski area at short notice.
Live cameras and modelled weather can be delayed, incomplete or offline. Check official weather, access and safety information before you make plans.
