On to Akureyri


Today I repositioned the aircraft to Akureyri in Northern Iceland. I am writing this blog in the midnight sun close to the Arctic circle. Flew past several glaciers on top of volcanoes on the mid-Atlantic ridge that happens to be on Iceland. Eyeing the possibility of getting to the Isle of Grimsey, which is the one part of Iceland north of the Artic Circle. Here in Akureyri the sun is setting in 20 minutes at 12:51 am and is rising 43 minutes later. A photographer's work is never done at sunset and here sunset lasts an entire summer. What a combination!
On the chart above the flight plan is the gray line and the GPS track is the blue array of dots. The start of the flight was in Reykjavik in the southwest and Akureyri is in the North. More tomorrow on Greenland and Iceland!
