Reykjanes Peninsula — Live Volcano Cameras
24 live cameras within 30 km of Grindavík, beside the Sundhnúkur crater row — Festarfjall — three road views (Vegagerðin). Free, no signup.
The Reykjanes Peninsula is where Iceland's newest volcanic chapter is being written: the Sundhnúkur fissure eruptions outside Grindavík redrew this ground, and the road network that serves the town, the airport road and the evacuated coast is the watch. This wall gathers every catalogue camera within 30 km of Grindavík.
In Iceland the road cam and the volcano cam are often the same camera, and Reykjanes is the proof: these are working road feeds — the peninsula's weather, its closures, its empty streets — that happen to face a live volcanic system. When a fissure opens, this is the network that shows the world's reaction first.
Best time to watch Reykjanes
Eruption or not, Reykjanes weather is the drama most days: Atlantic storms cross this low peninsula unimpeded, and the cameras show them arriving. During unrest, check across hours rather than minutes — fissure episodes build over days of seismicity, and the road cameras register the closures and the glow after dark before they register anything else.
Eruption status is not read off a webcam: confirm what you are seeing with the Icelandic Meteorological Office before drawing conclusions from any single frame.
All 24 Reykjanes cameras, live

Loading live cameras…Fetching the live index for the Reykjanes Peninsula.
Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.

How to watch Reykjanes on the map
- 1Start with the named cameras: the highlights at the top of this page are the wall's anchor viewpoints — open them first for the volcano itself.
- 2Check the timestamp before trusting the frame, and read the weather panel: plumes, ash and cloud are easy to confuse at a glance.
- 3Confirm what you're seeing against the responsible observatory — here, the Icelandic Meteorological Office.
- 4Switch on the earthquake layer on the globe to see the seismic activity under and around the volcano — eruptions are seismic stories.
- 5During unrest, recheck across hours: episodes build, peak and stop, and the regional cameras catch the aftermath — plumes, closures, glow after dark.
