netnurds streams live 24/7 aurora and all-sky images from Aðaldalshraun in North Iceland, near Húsavík and Akureyri. The cameras update automatically every few minutes with weather data, night-sky views, and real-time auroral activity.
netnurds also provides one of Iceland’s most comprehensive free aurora resources — a continuous 24/7 all-sky stream with live updates and months of archived timelapse footage available to the public.

Gleðilegt nýtt ár
Winter is well upon us here in the north. Some strong winds at the start of the year — up to 23 m/s (82 km/h) — and temperatures of -13 °C recorded so far. My kind of weather 😃
The bright moon and persistent low cloud have impeded good visibility, but the rest of the month should see things settle down.
The next few weeks should really liven up. Clear skies are the key to good observations. At these latitudes the aurora is always somewhere — you just need patience and a clear skies.
I’m hoping to put together a review of the highlights of 2025, and I’m working on several new projects this year: a radar-based snow-depth system, seismic activity monitoring, and — as a proof of concept — a LoRa mesh network from Akureyri to the cabin.
If you’re up in the north and fancy a coffee, drop me a message at geimfarinn@netnurds.com (but bring cake).
