Was a new island actually confirmed?
A new area could be the underground network
Could be you have to find something like access cards, badge, disk or anything else to gain access to the bunker door. Then you can enter or exit. It is the way you access bunkers now; wouldn’t it be the same? You may have to perform a few missions to know where to find things to access the door.
Could be you have to gain access via the same way you call in the tyrants but you have another option to pop over on an island.
And we all have been thinking of more areas to explore like an island, what if the update takes us to a large underground tunnel system, under the main island.

Ofcourse, but we first need to get in before you get out. I thought that Madchaser meant we got in some other way, and this door we talk about, was the way out. However, there is something behind that door that might prevent us from doing that.
I was merely saying that I think that’s the way in, but of course that too is just speculation.
If a new area is an island, then the tease picture in klinte fits the idea that Island 2 is were we need to go, especially as the island seemed to have been changed a bit. Possibly trees needed to be cleared to accomodate a landing area

Exactly.
Additionally it isn’t said, that the shape and size of the island after the update still is the same.
Maybe it becomes smaller… Or a great part of it becomes inaccessible.

But is it confirmed that we are getting a new island? Or just a new area, which could be an island.
That’s what Carni said.

Yes, I read that. It might suggest that the new area is an island (comparison with Himfjäll), but is not actually confirmed in this text.
I thought that maybe on Discord this might have been confirmed, but for me Discord’s chat format, is too fast and to unclear who is reacting to whom. I get brain-fog if I stay to long on there. And then there’s also a lot of off-topic noise. Very hard to get real information. You might have seen it confirmed. But I guess not.

In the middle (leftish) that might be a laptop

I agree.
The whole complex looks like it could eventually be below the right handed structure on the picture with the 4 screens due to its almost round shape.
But that’s just loosly guessed.
When I saw that snake-like pipe with the bright light in the middle, I imagined it was yet again another manifestation of FNIX speaking via a mechanical snake with its all-seeing eye. 
Mmh. Could also remind me of GLaDOS.
there is no lemon lie, 
, there will be cake, portal 4 today
Update 2024-11-21
There is a new picture to discuss about.
So, what do we see?
- A gigantic radar dish on the right.
- A mountain on the left, higher than the clouds seem to be
- A curious rock in the middle, far away?
But where?
I’ll check the map…
Edit
Ok, I believe that it could be here:
I marked the guessed place of this structure with the dish, the direction towards I think we watch at, and the location of the mountain, which seems to be higher than the clouds.

Cool, I will look around tomorrow, I was playing Stalker 2, and now it’s time for a movie.
Edit: However I have still some time so I made a screenshot standing west from Muskudden Mountaintop, that seems to fit your guess. Even though it’s nighttime.

So here is my theory of the locations…
THEORY REFERENCE IMAGE
A couple of potential locations. The new “Control Room with sat/radio dish” has some distinct features that lead me to believe the following locations. First is the Cliff/Rock face just barely visible above the controls. The area around there is very steep. Using that as kind of a point of reference I came up with 2 possible areas for this room to be looking out over. I have been over to that island several years ago through unofficial means, to see what was over there. Haven’t been back since, cause there was nothing over there really, except some roads and a pretty neat tunnel
Location #1 includes the Cliff/rock face and some of the possible peaks in the background. At first I thought this but change my mind to Location #2 as is had a better angle on some of what I deemed key features.
Location #2 is my preferred angle as it includes all 3 peak areas at the right angles and would show part of the cliff face.
I also included the rooftop Klinte shot angle of what is seen in that photo
Those are my thoughts. I know long winded, but I wanted to explain it better.

Yeah, maybe it’s even better than my idea.
At least we agree that it’s possible, that this site is on this island.
Probably with my idea the large dish should be able to be seen from Klinte, maybe even in the Klinte-shot we already got, so in this case your Idea would be more save.
I wonder if this island, where everything might unfold, will also get a name?
I have been thinking about what it could be. Västerö => Western island, or Västerländsk ?

As “Himfjäll” translated means “sky mountain”, or “Himmelsberg” in german, I would tend to another name, not just related to it’s geographical location.
Btw. with Västerö I immediatly had to think of Westeros (GoT) 
Any Idea what else the island could be called?
What could be special about this island?
It was written about new unique terrains we will see… Maybe there is something special… Like: it could have been previously a vulcanic island or something else.
I also, just for interest, looked for real names of swedish islands and their translation, but most of them are proper names.
Geological placement is something we can reasonably guess, proper island naming referring to mountains or vulcanos are the Devs domain. But if I were to venture a guess based on what we can see now, there are a lot of dark cliffs, so a guess could be “Mångaklippor”.
I also hope they mention the name of the canal / strait between Östertörn and the western Island in the lore.
I can’t wait to see what they made for us.

Definitely not Västerländsk, would be a slaughter of the Swedish language and in English it means Western as in Western world when spoken geo-politcal terms and shit like that.
Västerö sounds a bit plain but fully possible for a island to the West.
Then there is the possibility that they choose something half chessy, just as many islands in the Swedish archipelago have completely illogical names sometimes.
