Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe, primarily comprising three countries: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It's known for its stunning landscapes, including fjords, forests, and mountains. Denmark is the southernmost, known for its flat terrain and modern cities like Copenhagen. Norway features dramatic coastlines and deep fjords, while Sweden has vast forests and lakes. The region has a rich cultural heritage, including Viking history, and shares social and economic similarities. Sometimes, Finland and Iceland are included in broader discussions of the Scandinavian countries, but traditionally, the term refers specifically to Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
