[7] Vikna: This island was not identified by Munch (1846, 91). However, according to Finnur Jónsson (LP: Vikna 1), an island of this name may be located in Namdalen in Nord-Trøndelag. There is a group of three islands of this name (Ytre Vikna, Mellom Vikna and Indre Vikna) in Folla, Nord-Trøndelag. See also Þul Islands l. 1.
