Description   

The webcam is close to the Museum of Photography and the Reykjavik Art Museum.
Hafnarhús is located in the oldest part of Reykjavik, where the town’s boats and first docks lay.
The building was erected in the 1930s and at the time it was one of the largest buildings in the country. 
  
On the old shoreline, in front of the old harbour warehouse, there is a statue commemorating
all those that have lost their lives at sea around the Icelandic coastline over the last one hundred plus years.
The statue shows two fishermen looking out to sea and is indeed called ‘Looking Seawards’ by Ingi P. Gilason.
It was unveiled on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the port on the 60th Icelandic "Seafarers' Day" in 1997. The monument is inscribed "Those who acknowledge your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, do not abandon those who seek you” Psalms 9:10 

This is located adjacent to a series of maps showing shipping losses separated decade by decade
and includes information on vessel type, nationality, location and date of the loss. 

Few tourists make their way to the long and winding Sculpture and Shore Walk that circles most of Reykjavik.
This coastal path features several spots for enjoying pretty ocean vistas.

Go to the above coordinates.
You will be in front of a webcam that takes a picture.

   
In the background is the Harpa Music Hall and Conference Centre @ faxafloahafnir.is  

Now you need someone to save the picture of yourself taken by the webcam or save it as a screenshot on your smartphone.

To log this cache, you have to post this picture.
The picture should allow to identify you as a geocacher.
How you do that is up to you:
holding up an umbrella, banners, warning vests, balloons, headlights, or cheering into the camera... all the purpose is welcome!

Finally, back in Iceland after 10 years!
Iceland was the first foreign country that I cached in. Now the active volcano brought me back to this wonderful country!
On the first full day of my time in Iceland, I went on a hike to see the volcano, even though it was inactive. After the hike, finding some more caches and returning to Reykjavik, even more caches waited in Reykjavik to be found.

One of them was this Webcam-Cache, where I took the required photo by making a screenshot on my Smartphone.

In a forum an owner advertised his opencaching caches these days. Hey, some are in Iceland where I was only a few days ago. I did not expect Opencaching.de caches in Iceland so I didn't look for them.
Please accept my photo although it is not from the webcam. I think the meaning of the cache is fulfilled.
Great island, this Iceland
Thank you for the cache
