Streymoy Island, The Faroes

    Streymoy (Danish: Strømø) is the largest and most populated island of the Faroe Islands. The name means "island of currents."

    Navigatio Brendani 11.2:

    vīdērunt aliam īnsulam, prope sibi iūnctam, interveniente fretō nōn magnō. 

    The "other island" is perhaps Streymoy, separated from Vágar by only a narrow strait.
