Reykjavík from Perlan live cam

A live camera from Perlan, the glass dome on Öskjuhlíð hill, run by the Icelandic news site mbl.is, looking over Reykjavík and the bay.

Perlan, the glass dome built on top of the city's hot water tanks, sits on the wooded hill of Öskjuhlíð and is one of the best viewpoints in Reykjavík. This camera, run by the Icelandic news site mbl.is, looks out over the trees of the hill to the rooftops of the capital and the water of the bay beyond.

The light here changes more than almost anywhere: in June the sun barely sets, while in December daylight lasts only a few hours and clear nights can bring the northern lights. Iceland keeps the same time as London all year.

Live streams sometimes pause for maintenance or bad weather. We check every camera twice a day.
