How long does golden hour last in Vík?

Around 90 to 159 minutes each evening. It's shortest in March and September, about 90 minutes, and longest in July, about 159 minutes. In June there's no ordinary evening window: the sun stays high through the night. In January and December the sun stays low all day, so the gold merges into one long window or doesn't come at all. The farther from the equator, the longer it lasts, because the sun crosses the horizon at a shallower angle.

Which way does the sun set in Vík?

Toward the south-southwest in December, around 211°, swinging to the north-northwest in June, around 336°. Today it sets at 244°, well south of due west.
