Scandinavia

Scandinavia^[1] is a geographical region in northern Europe that includes, and is named after, the Scanian Province. Its extension is matter of some debate, with some authorities limiting it to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.^[2] and other authorities including Finland and Iceland,^[3][4]. The extension is also different in different languages. In English, the most common usage is to include all five countries in the term Scandinavia. In the Scandinavian countries, the name "Skandinavien" applies only to Denmark, Norway and Sweden while the German definition of "Skandinavien" consists of Finland, Norway and Sweden but not Denmark.
