    Flatlander: Is that box-like island in the inlet how Eskevika got its name?

    NordRunner: Hadn't thought of that! But that island is called Sheep Island or Sauøya but one side has been quarried away. I'm standing at Eskevika.

    NordRunner: The local historical society says the name derives not from the modern word for box but from the word for ash tree and would today be weitten «askeviken» where «ask» is ash tree.
