Scandinavia

Scandinavia is a region in Northern Europe that typically includes three countries: Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. It is known for its stunning natural landscapes, including mountains, forests, and coastlines. The region has a rich cultural history, with shared Viking heritage and similar languages, particularly among Norway and Sweden. Scandinavia is also recognized for its high standards of living, strong social welfare systems, and progressive values surrounding environmental sustainability and equality. Occasionally, Finland and Iceland are included in broader definitions, but they are not technically part of Scandinavia.
