I'm not from any Scandinavian countries but I am absolutely obsessed with all the places. I've been to Iceland, Denmark and Svalbard Norway and I am hoping to hit Sweden and Finland this summer. I'm so obsessed I really want to somehow gain citizenship in any Scandinavian country lol. Sorry if I sound lame but i just connect well with these places. I'm from Canada and honestly see more of a similarity with the Scandinavian cultures than with the US.

I'm from Finland.

Even though Finland isn't actually a Scandinavian country. ;)

you're right actually neither is Iceland too,, the true Scandinavian countries are Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and the nordic countries are Iceland, Finland Greenland, Faroe Islands and Aland Islands
It has been and argue whether Iceland and Finland should be there, but I guess it's from the similar culture that we all share that's why we are taken in the picture I think :)

Bare Norge, Sverige og Danmark er Skandinavia; resten regnes (sammen med Skandinavia) som de nordiske landene.

I do not speak Norwegian, but I can work out what that means:

Norway, Sweden and Denmark comprise Scandanavia; the other countries (along with Scandanavia) comprise the Nordic countries.

Is it a status symbol to live in an area where there is 24-hour light\darkness in summer\winter? Do people who live above the Arctic Circle look down on those who don't?
