Best Answer

Scandinavia consists of Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

You must be thinking of the Nordic countries, which are:
Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and all of their possessions.

Some people happily extend the term Scandinavia to Finland, along with Iceland and some even to Svalbard and Greenland.
Geographically, Finland isn't really, Iceland most certainly isn't, and neither is Greenland nor Svalbard.

Culturally, they are all Nordic, even though Finnish is completely unrelated to Scandinavian languages.. Still Nordic.

The Nordic Passport Union allows citizens of the Nordic countries to travel and reside in other Nordic countries without a passport or a residence permit, if you think or thought, or demanded that Finland and Iceland were part of Scandinavia, just think of "the Nordic Countries" as a term to completely replace that, and limit Scandinavia just to the historical, geographical region.
