I understand that refueling with AvGas in Greenland can be a problem.
Apparently they don't stock it at the airports there and you have to
make prior arrangements to have it shipped there in drums along with a
pump to transfer it into your plane. The usual route is Newfoundland
to Greenland to Iceland to Scotland. Norway is usually not part of
the equation. There was a preplanned mass flight of light aircraft to
Europe using these routes a few years ago that would make good reading
for someone planning that trip.
