Hi Sam,

I am based in Reykjavik and am flying mainly around that area.
So I guess you will be departing to Greenland from Ísafjörður ?

I would suggest you spend time over the fjords on the west coast of Norway

Unhappy First time fail...

We tried and we failed


We got as far as half-way to Greenland, but with solid above, murky ahead and sea-fog building below (we were at 500') we decided to turn back.


Very frustrating, but the right decision. Next time (next year?) we'll give ourselves more time...


Film of trip here for anyone interested:

Fly safe, Sam.
