* * * World's Northernmost Capital * * * Reykjavík[ is the capital of, and largest city in Iceland. It is located in southwestern Iceland, on the southern shore of Faxaflói Bay. With a latitude of 64°08′ N, the city is the world's northernmost capital of a sovereign state.[b] Reykjavík has a population of around 140,000 as of 2023 (up from 121,822 in 2015). The Capital Region has a population of around 248,000. Reykjavík is believed to be the location of the first permanent settlement in Iceland, which, according to Landnámabók, was established by Ingólfur Arnarson in 874 AD. Until the 18th century, there was no urban development in the city location. The city was officially founded in 1786 as a trading town and grew steadily over the following decades, as it transformed into a regional and later national centre of commerce, population, and governmental activities. Reykjavík is the centre of Iceland's cultural, economic, and governmental activity, and is a popular tourist destination among foreigners. It is among the cleanest, greenest, and safest cities in the world. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - *** TIMEFRAME *** 00:00 let’s look around - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - if you are a fellow video creator, let me support you too. – Please watch the video in 2K because the compression is so high in HD that it degrades the image quality - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Thank you for watching.
