You are planning a voyage by great circle to Reykjavik, Iceland, via Cape Race, Newfoundland, LAT 46°30'N, LONG 53°00'W. Which statement is TRUE? (Use gnomonic tracking chart WOXZC 5274)

Correct Answer: Option D — You will reach the northernmost latitude in the vicinity of Reykjavik.

Great circle tracks represent the shortest distance between two points on a sphere. As the vessel travels toward higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere, the track curves toward the pole. Reykjavik is at a high latitude, meaning the vessel's northernmost point occurs near the destination, consistent with the geometry of the great circle arc.
