Live Webcams in Iceland

Iceland is a country still under construction, and its live webcams are the closest thing to a seat on the process: a fishing harbour with the boats coming in, a small town under a hillside, a stretch of black volcanic coast, and, when the Reykjanes peninsula wakes up again, the glow of a new eruption. The whole of Iceland's webcam network runs on UTC+0 with no daylight saving, which makes it the easiest clock there is to read; the aurora needs full dark, so from September to March the sky is worth checking from about 21:00 UTC, while in June the same webcams never go dark at all. Ísland, as the locals write it, spreads some 103,000 square kilometres under fewer than 400,000 people, most of them within an hour of Reykjavík.
