Island0

Note

Near the centre of the island as OpenStreetMap maps it (relation 1577075; Nominatim gives 12.507, 53.893). The Bents copied an inscription on "a large upright rock" near the hamlet of Haida while walking towards the mountains; Haida is not located in OpenStreetMap, so only the island is placed.
