DAY 7, LEG 38 - Vagar to Reykjavik
Having checked the volcanic ash charts in Vagar, it's safe to proceed along our next leg to the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik. The international airport is located at Keflavik, to the west of the city but Reykjavik's airport handles small domestic traffic and is ideal for a stopover on our hop across the Atlantic.
