(answer) Friday quiz 2024 no. 26 - Akureyri and five very hard differences!

(answer) Dear quiz-loving Akureyri-people and well-wishers of the Municipal Library. The quiz-maker appears to have mis-calculated the time and therefore the Friday quiz comes a little latter than usual. Better late than never, they say! This one is very hard! Find five differences and they can be tiny! Magnifying glass would not be a bad idea...
