Scandinavia

Submitted by Mathias Hellsten (Sweden), Jul 27, 2011 at 09:19

Scandinavia is the three countries encompassed by the Scandic mountains. Those are Sweden, Finland and Denmark. There are also the Nordic countries, that form a historic bond and consisting of Scandinavia, Finland (that was part of Sweden until the early 18th century) and Iceland (Danish untill modern times). But Finland and Iceland is not part of Scandinavia. Just a matter of definition, I have nothing to add or correct on the subject-matter of your article.
