Actually, Scandinavia = Sweden, Denmark, Norway

Just a heads up ;)

Actually no; Sweden Norway and Finland :p Denmark don't have any mountains and Scandinavia is named after the mountain range that goes through Sweden, Norway and Finland ^^ Just a heads up ;)

I've always been told that Scandinavian countries are Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and even Iceland.


Well, those are the Nordic countries. Whoever told you that, is wrong.

The Dutch term looks to be 'Noordse landen', but I've never ever heard that one. I doesn't matter much anyway because the Scandinavian empires contained Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Faroer, Svalbard. Now take Russia. We say it´s in Europe, but more than half the country Syberia lies in Asia. 

Also Denmark isn´t on the Scandinavian peninsula if using another definition.

I like them too XD

Some Caribbean countries are great to have a calm life. I loved Dominica when I went there, Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts... Great countries with nice weather and very friendly people.

Here you go:

Scandinavia[a] is a historical cultural-linguistic region in Northern Europe characterized by a common ethno-cultural Germanic heritage and related languages that includes the three kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Modern Norway and Sweden proper[b] are situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula, whereas modern Denmark is situated on the Danish islands and Jutland. The term Scandinavia is usually used as a cultural term, but in English usage, it is occasionally confused with the purely geographical term Scandinavian Peninsula, which took its name from the cultural-linguistic concept.

So, yeah... seems you were right then :p But Denmark still hasn't got any mountains!!

I'm surprised by that, I have always considered Finland to be a Scandinavian country
