Longest commercial airport runways of the Nordic region

Listed below are the longest commercial airport runways in the Nordic Region of Europe. A minimum runway length of 8,000 feet (2,438.4 m) was required for inclusion. As can be seen, runways of 8,202 feet in length are very common with nine such runways. As far as distribution by nation, the data is as follows:

• Finland = 18
• Norway = 13
• Sweden = 13
• Denmark = 9
• Iceland = 2
• Greenland = 1
• Svalbard = 1
• Faroe Islands = 0
• Åland Islands = 0
• Jan Mayen Island = 0

If you like #Bluegrass music, then you’ll very likely love Scandanavian/Nordic folk music as well. I know I do. I wrote an essay on the subject: Introduction to Nordic Folk Music I Wrote For A Bluegrass Loving Friend. There are some great groups featured, like Vasen and Dreamer’s Circle, with links to #MusicVideos in the essay. I also talk about unique Nordic #FolkMusic instruments like the Nykelharpa and Hardanger fiddle. If you enjoy the piece, and the music, please feel free to share. https://docs.google.com/document/d/151G-Wg623iFVeSATyQZlJ0CyHxJpBN3wl0D1VQHsN5M/edit?usp=drivesdk #Music #Scandanavia #ScandanavianFolkLore #Norway #Sweden #Iceland #FaroeIslands #Denmark

A vengeful troll once gave a letter to a traveler and asked him to deliver it to Kund. Inside the envelope was enough water to flood that village, but because it unfolded before reaching its destination, the water that spilled out instead formed Tiis Lake. #LegendaryWednesday

Here's an amazing video about #WildIceSkating, also known as #NordicSkating.

As Mårten Ajne skates across 45mm-thick ice on the surface of the river Kvarnsjön in #Sweden, you can hear a high-pitched, bouncy #sound being produced.
