This is an Ålkistan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8... Or, to put it more clearly, the zone "Ålkistan" is not located at Ålkistan, but at Storängsviken. Ålkistan, by contrast, primarily denotes the channel between Brunnsviken and Lilla Värtan, and secondarily the bays on either side. However, there is currently no zone representing the actual Ålkistan, and there happens to exist a spot that is an excellent zone candidate. Compared to the current location, it is even a much nicer place to visit, with a great view from the top of an easily accessed cliff - which also used to be the site of an anti-aircraft defense. The view can be seen in Google Street View: maps.app.goo.gl/4zpyfYqDv19... maps.app.goo.gl/pR8JnRPbjSZ... Everything taken together, this is a unique and special spot, but it is easy to miss when you are just passing by. If there was a zone there, more turfers would discover it. It is technically within the zone radius of PowerWellBay (the name references the local power station next to the bay), but by foot it is actually a long distance to walk - and in terms of walking distances to the other nearby zones, the south side of Ålkistan is currently a big gap devoid of zones. It would also be a shame if a zone eventually gets added there, but can't use the proper name "Ålkistan" because it is already taken by this zone. The optimal solution is to have a zone named "Ålkistan" in that location, and not in this zone's current location, and the most straightforward solution is to simply move this zone to that location. I will attach a picture that shows the suggested relocation (yellow arrow), and the walking paths from the nearest other zone (blue).
