This camera looks out over the harbour at Borgarnes, a small town on the shore of Borgarfjörður in western Iceland. It suits anyone planning a drive up the west of the country or curious how a working fjord port looks on an ordinary day.
About Borgarnes
Borgarnes sits on a low spit where the Borgarfjörður fjord opens toward the Atlantic, about an hour's drive north of Reykjavík. The town grew around fishing and trade and is the main service centre for the surrounding farming valleys. Behind it rise green slopes and distant mountains, and the water is often calm and reflective when the wind is light.
What to watch on the camera
Because the view is of a harbour, the most telling signs are boats coming and going, the state of the water and the sky over the fjord. Icelandic weather changes quickly, so the picture can shift from flat grey to bright sun within an hour. Morning and evening light tends to be the most atmospheric, especially in the long summer evenings and in the darker winter months when the lights of the town stand out.
Climate and getting there
Summers are cool and mild, with long daylight, while winters are cold, wet and windy, with short days. Roads can be icy from autumn to spring, so check conditions before travelling. The nearby Grundartangi and Akranes cameras show other stretches of the same fjord, and Reykjavík lies roughly 43 km south.
