This live stream looks north from the Mineral Industries Building on the campus of South Dakota Mines in Rapid City.

Rapid City sits on the eastern edge of the Black Hills in western South Dakota, roughly at an elevation of one thousand metres. The city is the main gateway to the region and is known for its mountain scenery, the nearby Badlands and the historic downtown with its sculptures of American presidents. South Dakota Mines is a public school focused on engineering, science and mineral industries, which gives the campus a distinctive, practical character.
The view is fixed on the campus grounds, so the most visible changes come from daylight, cloud cover, snow and the seasonal rhythm of students moving between classes. Mornings and late afternoons usually bring the warmest light on the buildings. Winter views can show snow on the lawns, while summer and early autumn tend to be the most lively periods on campus. Check the live feed when you want to see current conditions outdoors.
