About the time in Iceland
Around 353,574 people live in Iceland, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:16 and sunset at 09:14 local time, giving 15h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (65.00, -18.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Iceland.
The zone identifier Atlantic/Reykjavik is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Atlantic/Reykjavik keeps pointing at Reykjavik time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
