"The sun is at its highest point" would be the common way to say it. I seriously didn't think anyone would have trouble with "top," but there you go.

- Jedd 6y agoWhen I spent Christmas in Reykjavik a few years ago, there was nominally 4 hours of (barely) daylight - 11:30 through 15:30. But because the sun barely ever got much above the horizon, the slightest cloud cover meant it mostly felt like twilight. I can't imagine anyone calling something 5 degrees above the horizon the 'top of the sky', but perhaps they did. I don't speak any Icelandic, so I can't really say for sure. Interestingly the solar noon during winter (ie. not daylight savings) there is around 13:30 -- no one seemed to be terribly concerned it not being 12:00
