This live camera looks out over Akureyri, the largest town in northern Iceland and a gateway to Eyjafjörður fjord. The feed shows the town's conditions as they change through the day, from clear Arctic light to low cloud rolling off the mountains. It is useful for anyone deciding whether to head out to the fjord or the surrounding valleys.
About Akureyri
Akureyri sits at the head of Eyjafjörður, a long fjord cut deep into northern Iceland, with mountains rising steeply on both sides. The town has a university, a busy harbour and a reputation as the cultural centre of the north, with a botanical garden and a well-known church on the hill above the centre. Its position makes it a natural base for exploring the north, from whale watching out of the fjord to the waterfalls and lava fields of the wider region.
What the camera shows
The image is most rewarding in the long summer evenings, when the light stays soft for many hours and the fjord is often calm. In winter the days are short, so the view is mainly useful for checking whether snow or low cloud is sitting over the town. Weather changes quickly along the fjord, so it is worth returning to the feed more than once if you are waiting for a clear view of the mountains.
Visiting and getting around
Akureyri has a mild climate for Iceland, though summers are the most comfortable time to visit, roughly June to August. The town is compact and easy to walk, and it is a good starting point for day trips to the nearby nearby towns of Húsavík, known for whale tours, and Sauðárkrókur on the west side of the north. The nearby camera at Húsavík can help you judge conditions along the coast before you set out.
