What did Scandinavian people look like?
Stereotypical Scandinavian traits and facial features have since the early 20th century included straight, blonde hair; blue eyes; tall figure; a straight nose; thin lips; and non-prominent cheekbones, according to Werner & Björks 2014 book Blond and blue-eyed.
The supposed physical traits of the Nordics included light eyes, light skin, tall stature, and dolichocephalic skull; their psychological traits were deemed to be truthfulness, equitability, a competitive spirit, naivete, reservedness, and individualism.
Norway, Sweden and Denmark are the three Scandinavian countries. Finland and Iceland are sometimes included in a broader definition by some, but the correct term for all is the Nordic countries.
Where is Scandinavia?
Scandinavia is in the northern part of Europe. It is generally held to consist of the two countries of the Scandinavian Peninsula, Norway and Sweden, as well as Denmark.
Combined with that Nordic buzzword “hygge”, the public meetings offer a unique sense of community, which illustrates some of the values that are fundamental in Nordic societies: democracy, freedom of speech, equality, mutual respect, and trust.
Nordic countries include Finland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands (an archipelago of islands as an autonomous country within the kingdom of Denmark). These countries share similar flags, languages, and many cultural traits. They are also the least corrupt in the world and have a low crime rate.
Are all Scandinavians blonde and blue eyes?
Perhaps the most popular stereotype about the region’s population is that everyone – men and women – is blonde-haired and blue-eyed. It is true that the percentage of blonde-haired people is a little higher in Scandinavia than in the rest of the world, but it is a long way from being a majority.
Scandinavia has more cold air than other places. Therefore a smaller nose takes in less cold air. And the cold air it takes in moves through the nose so slowly that it warms up more when it goes into the throat.
Modern North Germanic ethnic groups are the Danes, Faroese people, Icelanders, Norwegians and Swedes. These ethnic groups are often referred to as Scandinavians. Although North Germanic, Icelanders and the Faroese, and even the Danes, are sometimes not included as Scandinavians.

The ad displays a montage of all things considered Scandinavian, albeit with a curious twist. The narrator asks: “What is truly Scandinavian? Absolutely nothing.
