| Cutlip, of course there is a such thing as a Scandinavian Peninsula; just because you've never heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Norway and Sweden make up the Scandinavian Peninsula. However, if you're just talking about Scandinavia--without the word "peninsula"--then, geographically speaking, Denmark is included. Greenland and the Faroe Islands are Danish provinces, and Iceland was settled by Scandinavians, but they are not part of the region known as Scandinavia. They are, however, sometimes referred to as part of Scandinavia because they are culturally, though not geographically, related. Iceland and Finland, along with the three aforementioned Scandinavian countries, make up the Nordic Countries, of which Scandinavia is just a part. It's confusing, I know. |
