I used 'rhombus' bearing, ie you keep following the same bearing throughout the journey even though it means not going in a straight line. Not sure how you got 38 degrees but perhaps that's the bearing you follow at the beginning of a straight line Ottawa-Reykjavik journey?

Yes 38 degree is the initial bearing of the straight line flight
