Frislanda

The Zeno Narrative mentions something called Frislanda as the place where Zeno met his Prince. There are apparently several interpretations of which island was meant, the most popular being Fair Isle and the Faroes.

The Zeno Map shows it as roughly where the Faeroes are.

Pohl identified the place as Fair Isle.

I seem to recall that Andrew_Sinclair had a third solution that identified the place as one of the Orkney Islands, but I can't recall for sure.

I would guess that Laura Zolo accepts the Fair Isle solution and is going there.

Of course, if she's going from Orkney to Iceland, she could easily also go by the Faeroes.

Fair Isle is the most southerly island in the Shetland archipelago: This is the same place as Fer Island, and Pohl says the name derives from an earlier one meaning Sheep Island.

The Faeroe Islands are about half way between Orkney and Iceland.

They are currently part of Norway but are often considered as a nation.
