This live camera looks along Ægisgata, a street in Vestmannaeyjar, the main town of the Westman Islands off Iceland's south coast. It is a useful way to get a feel for the town's pace and the weather coming in from the Atlantic before you travel.

About the Westman Islands

Vestmannaeyjar is an archipelago south of mainland Iceland, formed by volcanic activity, including the eruption of Heimaey in 1973 that reshaped the harbour. The town is a fishing and harbour community with a strong maritime identity, surrounded by steep cliffs, lava fields and seabird colonies. Its position in the open ocean gives it a rapidly changing landscape and sky.

What you can watch

The camera shows a town street, so the picture depends on the view itself, which is best judged from the live stream. Street cameras in harbour towns like this are often most interesting in the morning when fishing boats return, or in the evening light when weather systems pass over the sea. Watch for changing cloud, wind and rain, which are common here throughout the year.

Practical notes

The Westman Islands have a cool oceanic climate, with mild but windy summers and cold, stormy winters. Ferries and a short flight connect the islands to the mainland, and weather can affect travel, so check the forecast on this page before planning. Nearby cameras on VizCams include Gólfskálinn, Framhaldsskóli, Dalurinn and Heimaklettur.
