Reykjavik is the capital of Iceland, with a population of about 118,918. It uses the Greenwich Mean Time time zone (IANA identifier Atlantic/Reykjavik).
Reykjavik does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+0 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Abidjan, Bamako, Casablanca, Dakar, Kumasi, Ouagadougou.
Because Reykjavik lies at 64.14° N, 21.90° W, the length of the day changes strongly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 21 h 08 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 4 h 08 min.
