It appears you cannot rely on the published MSA.
Not necessarily, the 8300 is a true height while 8000 is an altitude based on whatever baro setting is used and influenced by temperature.
But then, it would need low temperatures and pressures that occur over Greenland, hardly the case here I suppose...
