Rising from the rugged Reykjanes Peninsula, the mountain Þorbjörn, also known as Þorbjarnarfell, offers a stark and stunning view into Iceland’s geothermal and volcanic power. This live camera captures the area’s raw natural energy in real time, where steaming vents, volcanic ridges, and molten terrain paint an ever-changing landscape of heat and stone.

Visible in the distance are columns of steam rising from the ground, a visual reminder of the seismic activity that has intensified around Grindavík and Reykjanes, especially in recent years. Below the camera’s vantage point, the terrain undulates in black lava fields, patches of mossy rock, and geologically active fissures: a textbook view of Iceland’s turbulent underground life.

The mountain Þorbjörn itself is a flattened volcanic hill, standing about 243 meters tall, offering panoramic views of the surrounding lava plains, the nearby Blue Lagoon, and the Atlantic coastline. From the live feed, viewers can often see the landscape shrouded in geothermal mist or glowing red during eruptions: a mesmerizing display of Earth’s restless inner workings.

Since 2020, Þorbjörn and its surrounding areas have seen increased volcanic activity, making this live camera especially significant for scientists, travelers, and nature watchers alike. It offers not just beautiful visuals but also a real-time record of Iceland’s geological evolution.

Whether you’re fascinated by volcanoes, planning a trip to the Reykjanes Peninsula, or simply drawn to the wild heart of Icelandic nature, this live view of Þorbjörn’s volcanic surroundings delivers a unique and humbling experience.
