In geography, a fell is a treeless mountain landscape that has been
shaped by glacier ice earlier in history. It is the name used in the
North of England for a large hill or small mountain, especially in
the Lake District, made famous by the Victorian era Poet Laureate
William Wordsworth. The valleys are known as dales.

By this the scene/district of Hrafnkel'sSaga is fell: geographically.

But EyvindarFjöll (2 really) are mountains as they have crest,
ridge.

Mountain range we name FjallGarða.

In the map I noticed that that "Fell" are also Mountains.
Fell/Fells plural Fell/Fella

But Fell stand alone more like hill/knoll and the bottom is kind of
circular. Mountains appear to be more elongated.

In neigborhood of Eyvindarfjöll(823) we have: KálfaFell (794),
SauðaFell, HafursFell(1088) and BúrFell. SnæFell is 1833 m.
Also Glacier resting the knoll.

This I reckon most accurate.
