The Johnston Ridge Observatory volcano cam is maintained by the USFS and is located 5 miles from the crater.

The competition is close, but I think the HD cam trained on Mount St. Helens just slightly wins in a cam-to-cam comparison with the three cams watching Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano. These two aren't even in the running. The resolution is pretty good, but not great, and they're a bit smaller. (I should add that when the volcano is acting up, they are all slow to load from traffic.)

This web cam is located in Þórólfsfell, which has a view over the river Markarfljót and the glacier Eyjafjallajökull.

This live feed from a cam located in Þórólfsfell, on the other hand, is huge and copes relatively well with nightfall. The instructions say that nighttime viewing can be exciting, in fact, thanks to glowing from the volcano.

Speaking of coping, the BBC headline is "Flight chaos to continue into weekend."
