EarthCam Live: Statue of Liberty

Lady Liberty has welcomed ships into New York Harbor since 1886, and this live EarthCam view lets you keep her company. The camera looks out from Brooklyn across the harbor, offering the perfect angle on the Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island.

That vantage point is ideal for some of the most striking sunrises and sunsets you will see on a webcam, when the sky behind the statue lights up in gold, pink and violet. During the day, ferries carry visitors to and from the island, giving passengers an up-close look at the statue, while other boats and ships move through the busy waters of the harbor.

Weather adds drama. Fog can make the statue appear and vanish like a ghost, storms roll dark clouds across the bay, and crisp winter days bring out every detail of her copper-green robes and raised torch.

Watch for

• Ferries circling Liberty Island.
• Colorful sunrise and sunset skies behind the statue.
• The torch illuminated after dark.

A timeless symbol of freedom and welcome, streamed live from Brooklyn by EarthCam.
