Scandinavia, the most northerly region in Europe, is made up of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Together with the volcanic island of Iceland, this is a sparsely populated land of mountains, pine forests, and unpolluted lakes.
Historically Scandinavia is said to refer to the Scania area in current Southern Sweden. Originally - or in some era - it was part of Denmark. So historically and culturally Scandinavia is tied to Sweden and Denmark through Scania.
