"In modern times, Hålogaland is the district covered by the municipalities Bjarkøy, Gratangen, Harstad, Ibestad, Kvæfjord, Lødingen, Skånland and Tjeldsund."
Really? Why isn't Vesterålen included? Or Evenes, Narvik and Ballangen? The current Hålogaland police district includes Vesterålen and Ofoten. And Hålogaland helseforetak includes Vesterålen and Ofoten as well (three hospitals: Harstad, Narvik and Stokmarknes). So i would say that the modern time definition is broader than the municipalities you mention here. Orcaborealis 16:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Unless some other redaction of the Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar exists that presents another folk etymology, the final statement in the first paragraph is incorrect. The first few sentences, which contain the folk etymology, read as follows per Guðni Jónssons edition. "Þat er upphaf þessarar sögu, at Logi hefir konungr heitit. Hann réð fyrir því landi, er norðr er af Noregi. Logi var stærri ok sterkari en nokkurr annarr í því landi. Var lengt nafn hans, ok var kallaðr Hálogi. Af honum tók landit nafn ok var kallat Hálogaland." (cf. Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar at heimskringla.no) This translates as follows: "That is the beginning of this saga, that a king was called Logi. He ruled that land, which is north of Norway. Logi was taller and stronger than any other in that land. His name was lengthened (=an addition to his name was made) and he was called Hálogi (=High-Logi). From him the land took its name and was called Hálogaland." I do not know where the supposed connection to Hel is coming from in the article. I would also critise the wording of that final sentence, since it does not reflect the nature of this attempt at an explanation as a folk etymology. Bajuwarijaz ( talk) 14:01, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
