With over 200,000 visitors worldwide, the New Year’s Eve live webcam feed overlooking Reykjavik’s skyline was a great success.

Set up by Icelandic telecommunications company Mila, the webcam feed captured the attention of those wishing to experience New Year’s Eve in Reykjavik, watching night turn to day as the fireworks light up the city’s skyline.

Iceland’s capital sees the arrival of thousands of visitors wanting to witness the spectacular New Year’s Eve firework display.
