Northeast lies 249 km north-east of Reykjavik, so Dhuhr in Northeast comes about 15 minutes earlier than in Reykjavik. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Northeast.
Finding the Qibla from Northeast
From Northeast you pray towards the east, at an angle of 110.8° from true north; the Kaaba is 6,400 km away. We computed this angle with spherical trigonometry from the coordinates of Northeast and those of the Kaaba (21.4225° N, 39.8262° E). Note that a compass points to magnetic north, which can differ by a few degrees from true north.
