| "Scandinavia[1] is a cultural, historical and ethno-linguistic region in northern Europe that includes the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, characterized by their common ethno-cultural heritage and language...Sometimes the term Scandinavia is also taken to include Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Finland, on account of their historical association with the Scandinavian countries.[3] Such usage, however, is considered inaccurate in Scandinavia, where the term Nordic countries instead refers to a broader group comprising both Scandinavia itself as well as countries and territories that are historically associated with the Scandinavian countries, including Finland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands."
Usually I don't get too involved with the minutiae of Sporcle geography quizzes, but in this case, it appears that @burywmore, among others, is correct. Culturally, historically, ethno-linguistically, and geographically, Scandinavia is Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Period. Finland and Iceland are certainly NOT it. Just my two cents, though. |
