41 Arbesbach Austria webcam
Arbesbach is a municipality in the district of Zwettl, in lower Austria.
42 Bali, Indonesia webcam
If this view looked more idyllic, birds of paradise would be serving cocktails to angels reclining on gilded sun-beds.
43 Bondi Beach, Australia webcam
Look at all those people throwing another prawn on the barby at Bondi Beach on Australia's East Coast.
44 Snowdonia, Wales webcam
In 1838, Morris Williams became the first businessman to open a refreshments stall at Mount Snowdon's 3,560ft summit (pictured right). There's no record of how long it took him to reach the top, but we bet it was rather longer than the 41 minutes 35 seconds Andi Jones took on the way to winning 2007's International Snowdon Race.
45 Falkland Islands
Most of the Falklands' 2,400 people live in Stanley, the world's smallest capital city. Its harbour is the subject of one of the cams here.
46 Tarnow, Poland webcam
Tannow, which lies 40 miles east of Krakow, played a tragic part in World War II. It was from here in 1940 that the first transportation of Jews bound for Auschwitz left.
47 Bonaire, Caribbean webcam
Views of this Caribbean island include an ocean-situated ReefCam.
48 Pyramids, Egypt webcam

50 Tartu, Estonia webcam
Tartu is the Baltic state's second-biggest city.
51 Sedona, Arizona webcam
Sedona is located at the southern end of the Oak Creek Canyon in Arizona.
52 Lisbon, Portugal webcam
Take a view of Portugal's capital from high up in the city's Amoreiras district.
53 Mount Fuji, Japan webcam
According to local Japanese proverb, "He who climbs Mount Fuji once is a wise man, he who climbs it twice is a fool". We wonder if anyone's been daft enough to scale this amazing 3,766m peak three times?
54 Thessaloniki, Greece webcam
There are five webcams overlooking Thessaloniki, including one pointed at the
Arch of Galerius, built in 298 to celebrate the victory over the Persians.
55 Santiago, Chile webcam
Did you know that Santiago, the capital of Chile, was founded in 1541 by conquistador Pedro de Valdivia?
56 Isafjordur, Iceland webcam
The regional capital of the West Fjords, Isafjordur is found on Iceland's north-west tip. Tourists who prefer the cold to the sun can marvel at the fishing town's 18th-century houses, some of Iceland's oldest buildings.
57 Al-Abbas Holy Shrine, Iraq webcam
Millions of pilgrims every year visit the Al-Abbas Holy Shrine in Karbala, Iraq.
58 Salvador Volcano, El Salvador webcam
San Salvador gives its name to El Salvador's capital city and the 1,700-metre high volcano (pictured left) that dominates the skyline. The volcano last erupted in June 1917, since when the capital's population has grown to two million.
59 The Kalverstraat, Amsterdam webcam
Spy on shoppers as they stroll down The Kalverstraat, Amsterdam's main shopping street.
60 Micronesia Mall, Guam webcam
Perhaps a shopping mall view doesn't provide the most picturesque look at Guam, but the Pacific island is hardly overflowing with webcams.
There's more globe-trotting in part four of Around the World in 80 Webcams. Visit places such as Shanghai, Madrid, South Africa and Hawaii.
