FINLAND, ESTONIA and SWEDEN: Up Up and Away! Season 5, Episode 1 

Thanks for dropping some knowledge on us! I've amended the description to hopefully correct at least one of those mistakes!

Thank you! We were corrected on this and I added some text in the description to correct our mistake. Hope you enjoy our upcoming Denmark, Iceland and Norway episodes!

Denmark is Nordic, but not Scandinavian

@@henrikmanitski1061 Incorrect, Denmark is not on the Scandinavian pinensula, but is considered a part of Scandinavia, I'm not sure if it's for historical reasons, parts of southern Sweden used to belong to Denmark.

Denmark is part of the European continent geographicaly, but part of Scandinavia by culture, which is considered more important when desciding where they should belong. Finland on the other hand is absolutely mostly Scandinavian, culturally and socially, but as their (main) language finnish, is not related to the Scandinavian or even germanic language group they are not Scandinavian. That is the main reason why we almost always refer to our region as the Nordic. The Nordic region consists of Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Sometimes people from other parts of the world confuse this with northern Europe which includes the Baltic region (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and most often Netherlands and British Isles. That is wrong because the word "Nordic", in this case talks of a cultural connection that does‘nt exist with with the other countries mentioned.

Love that you loved it!

We're sorry to have annoyed you, but we're happy to have learned something new! Thanks for that. Too late to change the narration, but I'll add a note in the description about it!

While Estonians as a people are not at all Baltic, but Finnic like Finland. It's a maze, I know.

Thank you for setting us straight on this! We love learning about a country even AFTER we've visited it :)

@@KingdomOfTheMonkey It seems that many visitors see the waters around and the cape of Helsinki as lakes even though they are part of the sea around Helsinki. Helsinki doesn't really have lakes. Neighboring municipalities have some. This coastal area isn't part of the lake areas of Finland. There are about 180 000 lakes in Finland larger than five ares (500 square metres / 5,382 sq.ft). So they exist, just not in Helsinki.

Aw thanks! Take a peek at the other stuff we’ve done, too!

@@TheYuriLowenthal ofc will do

Yay! We wish we could've stayed longer. I guess we'll just have to come back :) And we didn't know that about the inmates! So much more humane than American prisons...

What can we say? We're nerds!
