Explore Live Cams in Iceland

Iceland (Ísland) is a volcanic island in the North Atlantic, just south of the Arctic Circle, covering about 39,770 square miles (103,000 km²). It sits right on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where two tectonic plates meet, so its landscape is a dramatic mix of glaciers, volcanoes, hot springs, lava fields and black sand beaches.

Its most famous natural landmark is Vatnajökull, the largest glacier in Europe by volume. At Þingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can walk through the rift between the plates, and at Geysir, the hot spring that gave the world the word geyser, its neighbor Strokkur blasts boiling water into the sky every few minutes.

Iceland is home to the largest Atlantic puffin colonies in the world, and whales, from humpbacks to minkes, feed in its fjords each summer. The Arctic fox is the only land mammal that lived here before people arrived, and on clear winter nights the northern lights dance over the whole island.

Did You Know? Iceland is one of the only places on Earth with no mosquitoes at all, even though its neighbors have plenty.
