What makes a good sunset in Reykjavík?
Reykjavík faces the Atlantic to the west and has a famously changeable sky, which means conditions shift fast. When they align, you get ocean sunsets that light up the Esja mountain across the bay. The Grótta lighthouse at the tip of Seltjarnarnes is the best sunset vantage in the city: open water on three sides and unobstructed western horizon. In summer, "sunset" runs until nearly midnight and the sky stays lit in deep pastels for hours. Winter brings more dramatic color in a shorter window, often enhanced by low-angle light hitting volcanic terrain.
What time is sunset in Reykjavík tonight?
