Leg 8: Kulusuk, Greenland to Reykjavik, Iceland

A long hop over the Davis Strait to the capital of Iceland - we’re getting closer to home! Just about 400NM and 4 hours enroute.
Another leaden sky day in the Arctic, and passing over the iceberg fields east of Kulusuk:
Solid overcast at 7,000’ as we angle east; peeking out of the cloudbase though are the treacherous mountains of Greenland which extend almost all the way to the coast:
The weather is favorable for a change as the barometer rises and we get some glimpses of clear sky, but still a solid cloudbase beneath us:
The solid clag eases up just above pattern altitude as we catch sight of Reykjavik:
A rare visual approach (on this trip anyway) to RWY31 - but the setting sun glare is tough:
Always a beautiful sight - VASI reads a good slope - and another safe arrival.
