7 Aug – Flew on Icelanic Air from Anchorage to Iceland - Reykjavik

7 Aug – Flew on Icelanic Air from Anchorage to Iceland .  Left at 3.30 pm flew for 6 hours and arrived at 6 am.  How magic is that.  Views amazing of the North Pole region – rocks and ice.  Saw a wonderfully clear view of Mt McKinley out of the plane windows.

Not only did we get perfect views of Mt McKinly while in Denali National Park, Ian captured this out of the Iceland Air window while flying to Iceland.  Unusual to get such a clear pic.

This was the only trip where we were worried that we wouldn’t be able to offload and then catch our connection to Heathrow.  It is so funny to think we were worried now.  We just walked off the plane, around the corner and there we were ready for Heathrow!  Am sad we didn’t have time to stay in Iceland.  Reykjavik to Heathrow – 2 hours.  So much better than the usual routes through New York to Heathrow which are  so much longer and more expensive too.
