How to read it
Reykjavík's longest day, around June 21, has 21 hours 9 minutes of daylight, and its shortest, around December 22, has 4 hours 7 minutes.
Sunset in Reykjavík comes earliest around December 17, at about 15:28, and latest around June 21, at about 00:03. That earliest sunset comes about 4 days before Reykjavík's shortest day, because the Sun's noon drifts against the clock through the year. Reykjavík keeps the same clock all year (Atlantic/Reykjavik), so its sunset drifts with no jump.
Reykjavík's evening golden hour, the Sun from 6° up to 4° below the horizon, lasts about 90 minutes around the equinoxes; at midsummer the Sun never gets 4° down, so it runs on through the night.
