About this camera
Shetland Webcams – Cliff Cam 3 (Sumburgh Head) is a webcam shown on the operator's own site in Sumburgh Head, Shetland, Scotland, United Kingdom, run by Shetland Webcams (North Broadcast Ltd). It faces north, towards the aurora oval, so even a low aurora near the horizon shows up.
Over many years, aurora shows on about 5% of clear, dark nights at this camera's magnetic latitude (57°). That is a long-term average, not a forecast: tonight's chance is next to the camera.
