Something that's interesting while researching this song, is that apart from the official soundtrack, the rest of the Internet has this song labeled as "Our Island." I don't know if that's the name of the audio file or if someone came up with the title before the official soundtrack came out, but that's what crops up for everyone's video on YouTube except the Inon Zur YouTube page. I get it though. This is one of the main themes that plays while you're running around Far Harbor, or at least if you're not fast traveling at every chance you get because it's not like you're going to find something new every time you head out to either a new quest marker or a destination on your map that someone else marked, or just a blank part of the map that is likely to have something there because why would a map this large have anything blank on it?
I really love the cello (I think it's a cello, I can't really tell) that wails at the beginning of the song, and only after the one-minute mark, does it actually pick up any semblance of a melody. Which is then picked up by that haunting flute-like instrument around 1:40 until it dies a quiet death shortly thereafter.
My guess is that the title could be a reference to the DiMA questline as you recover his memories from The Nucleus and then proceed to different areas of the island where those lost memories lead you to either side with the various factions that inhabit the island. It's a very suiting theme that I enjoy listening to as I once again find myself over-encumbered trying to make my way up a hillside while avoiding another giant hermit crab or army of glowing gulpers.
