Europe's Nordic Countries - Fun Geography Quizzes

Europe's Nordic countries include the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Norway and Sweden, in addition to Finland and Iceland. Of these five northern European countries, Iceland is unique in that it is completed surrounded by bodies of water. It is also home to the capital city that is located furthest north. Denmark"s location is also of interest as it borders Germany to the north, but is otherwise surrounded by water.

Although I've traveled to Europe on a number of occasions, I have yet to travel to any of the Nordic countries. This lens is another reflection of my passion for travel and continuing education. By studying maps and doing a few quick quizzes, it is possible to learn a lot about the geography of Europe's Nordic nations. Plus, you'll also earn Squidoo points. Have fun!
