How prayer times in South change through the year
Prayer times in South change noticeably between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at about 2:02 AM and Maghrib at 11:55 PM, giving a day of 20 h 58 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 7:49 AM and Maghrib to 3:29 PM, and the day lasts only 4 h 15 min. That is a difference of 16 h 44 min between the longest and the shortest day, and it explains why the adhan moves so much from month to month.

South is located 49 km south-east of Reykjavik, so Dhuhr in South comes roughly 4 minutes earlier than in Reykjavik. The gap is due to longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in South.
