  11. Färöer Inseln: Mein nächstes Traumreiseziel im Nordatlantik

    Ich reise schon seit einigen Jahren durch den Norden Europas und habe dabei fast alle nordischen Länder besucht. Doch ein paar Flecken auf meiner persönlichen Karte fehlen mir noch und ganz weit oben stehen die Färöer Inseln (auf deutsch: Schafsinseln). Nordische Länger vs. Skandinavien – der Unterschied Bevor ich über die Färöer schwärme, möchte ich kurz aufräumen mit einem Missverständnis, das mir immer wieder begegnet: Skandinavien und Nordische Länder sind nicht dasselbe.

  12. Hype for the Future 87F: Nordic Crosses and Cultural Significances

    Introduction The Nordic cross flag design is predominantly associated with the countries and regions of Finland 🇫🇮, Sweden 🇸🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Denmark 🇩🇰, Iceland 🇮🇸, the Åland Islands 🇦🇽, and the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴. However, Nordic cross flag designs also exist for regional flags such as the Norwegian flag of Trøndelag or the Scottish Counties of Orkney and Shetland. Nordic Cross Definition The Nordic cross refers to the cross that symbolizes […]

  13. Hype for the Future 87E: Finland, Sweden, Norway

    Introduction The three northernmost countries associated with Europe west of Russia may each contain surface-level similarities; however, the differences provide a significantly greater contrast than would normally be expected. While Finland is usually more distinct, Sweden and Norway are typically more similar to one another with traditional cultural relations, Sweden to the east and Norway to the west. Northern Europe The nations are mostly part of Scandinavia, with the notable exception […]

  14. Hype for the Future 87C: The Åland Islands 🇦🇽

    Introduction Though part of Finland 🇫🇮, the autonomous territory of the Åland Islands 🇦🇽 is most notable for the majority of the population speaking Swedish, making the Finnish language a minority throughout the scope of the territory. Even on the mainland, regions around Bothnia on the southwestern edge of Finland (Suomi) are associated primarily with the Swedish language, making Finnish a minority language. Åland The capital of the Åland Islands specifically is located at […]

  15. Hype for the Future 87B: The Isolated Islands of Europe

    Introduction The North Sea is home to the Orkney, Shetland, and Faroe Island territories. Orkney and Shetland are today part of Scotland, while the Faroe Islands are today part of Denmark. However, all three (3) island chains effectively appear the same geographically, with mostly cultural differences separating the three island chains. The Orkney Islands are the furthest south and are immediately north of Caithness on the Scottish mainland, while the Shetland Islands to the north represent […]

  16. Hype for the Future 86J: Icelandic Minnesotans

    Overview While Icelandic Minnesotans do not represent a significant share of the Scandinavian or otherwise Nordic population of the modern State of Minnesota, the insular North Atlantic community is highly representative of the cultural divide that has indirectly influenced the culture in the modern Upper Midwest of the United States. Though Minnesota is largely associated with the eastern neighbors of Iceland, particularly Norway and Denmark, Iceland is also of cultural significance in the […]

  17. Hype for the Future 86B: The Faroese Chain Dance

    Introduction The Faroese Chain Dance refers to one of perhaps the only dances to have remained intact since the Middle Ages, with a communal dancing pattern and effectively a circle focused on the right arms of participants. The chain dance associated with the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 involves significant movement and adherence to Medieval 🏰 traditions in numerous categories, including the presence of the entire community in question. Usage The Faroese Chain Dance is typically used in […]

  18. Hype for the Future 83D: The Progressive Geography of Iceland

    Introduction Overall, the isolated island nation of Iceland is identified as largely associated with settlements on the periphery. Though Iceland 🇮🇸 is largely a coastal nation with high humidity, the east-central interior of the nation is largely associated with more of a cold-desert climate with semi-arid regions associated with the immediate vicinity. The Desert The cold-desert region of Iceland has largely determined the name “Iceland” referring largely to the eastern side of […]

  19. Hype for the Future 83C: The Kalmar Union (1397-1520)

    Introduction The genetic root languages for the North Germanic language family have largely been divided between the western and eastern branches. Today, the modern Scandinavian languages are Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian; however, the Norwegian language is actually comprised of two (2) standard Norwegians. Languages Each of the modern mainland Scandinavian languages have effectively converged between 1397 and 1520 by way of the Kalmar Union, with the modern languages effectively forming […]

  20. Hype for the Future 82C: Viking Sagas

    Introduction Though very different from modern songs, the sagas associated with Viking culture, particularly expanding throughout the North Atlantic Ocean, are often identified through the cultural and linguistic distinctions compared to other types of material. Many traditional sagas of the Vikings are associated with Iceland or the Faroe Islands; however, the Viking settlements had initially been associated with the Scandinavian mainland, particularly in much of modern Norway. History […]

  22. Hype for the Future 74A: Is Scotland a Nordic Country?

    Introduction While the short answer to the question posed is a clear and obvious “no,” with the fixed national and international borders of the modern day, portions of Scotland have indeed been considered at least somewhat Nordic in the past. If the Faroe Islands of Denmark can be considered Nordic, then so can the Shetland and Orkney Islands, both included within Scotland. Even further south are the Counties of Caithness and Sutherland, with Sutherland identifiable with a saltire […]

  23. Hype for the Future 73I: The Nordic Cross in Scotland

    Introduction Even though Scotland itself is not a Nordic country, portions of the territory now claimed by Scotland have historically been identified as Norwegian territory in particular. Following the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway and associated unions, most notably the Kalmar Union with Sweden, the Kingdom of Denmark would continue to claim the Faroe Islands, Iceland (now a sovereign state), and Greenland, in order from southeast to northwest. Norse Heritage While not all of Scotland is […]

  24. Hype for the Future 73H: Descriptions of Nordic Flags

    Introduction There currently exist five (5) distinct Nordic nations, recognized by their distinctive Nordic cross flag shapes. These countries are Denmark 🇩🇰, Norway 🇳🇴, Sweden 🇸🇪, Iceland 🇮🇸, and Finland 🇫🇮, just to name sovereign states. Outlying territories which also contain the Nordic crosses also include the Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 of Denmark and the Åland Islands 🇦🇽 of Finland. Flag Descriptions Denmark: Bicolor Nordic cross; white on the inside, […]

  25. Hype for the Future 73F: The Importance of the Nordic Countries

    Introduction While the Nordic countries are perhaps most notable in the modern world for sharing a common symbol, the Nordic cross, amongst the flags of the associated nations and regional identities, each country also maintains a clear and present national identity of pride, even in spite of surface and historical similarities such as the traditional Kalmar Union of Sweden and Denmark-Norway. Linguistics From the Anglosphere, the Nordic countries are of particular interest as often […]
