Of course, assuming the wind does not switch direction and sends the ashes toward Iceland for a change.
Odds are good for TATL to/from KEF as prevailing winds are eastbound (hence the longer flights westbound). As a point of history, the allies knew the weather for Normandy in advance of the 1944 invasion because of Keflavik and ships along the N. Atlantic. German observation presence (mainly U-boats) was much more limited.
