- Reykjavík is the capital of Iceland and the northernmost capital in the world (latitude 64° 08' N, 269 kilometers south of the Arctic Circle). The city forms with some rural areas and several islands the municipality of Reykjavíkurborg (Icelandic "City of Reykjavík"). Reykjavíkurborg is by far the largest municipality in the seven-municipality Höfuðborgarsvæðið (literally: "the capital area"). A total of 202,341 people lived in this densely populated municipality at the end of 2010.
The name Reykjavík is the Icelandic word for "smoke bay"; it is thought to derive from the fumes of the hot springs in the area and is attributed to a misunderstanding by the first settler Ingólfur Arnarson. The town is the oldest permanent settlement in the country. Although the first settlers populated the land as early as 870 AD, the area grew very slowly and was not officially elevated to a city until 1786.
Reykjavík is Iceland's largest city, with a population of 135,688 (as of January 1, 2022); about 37.3% of the country's total population resides here. More than 200,000 people live in the metropolitan region of Reykjavík. The city is located on the Atlantic Ocean, more precisely on Faxaflói Bay below the approximately 900 meter high local mountain Esja.
The city is home to most of the country's university faculties and various other colleges, theaters, museums and cultural institutions, as well as a deep-sea port. In the middle of the city there is a small lake called Tjörnin. This lake is also one of the largest breeding grounds for water birds in the southwest of Iceland.

Very interesting thank you but what is the little green light reflected on the screen?
Thank you very much for your feedback, I'm glad you like my video. The small green lights are reflections from street lamps or house lighting on the camera. These reflections are basically visible in all my night shots.
