Finland has approximately 188,000 lakes, far more than any other Nordic country relative to its size. Water bodies cover about 10% of Finland's total area. The country is also home to roughly 179,000 islands, making it one of the most water-rich nations on Earth.
Iceland's Althing (Alþingi) was established in 930 AD at Thingvellir, making it the oldest surviving parliament in the world. It served as both a legislative assembly and a judicial court during the Icelandic commonwealth era, and continues to function as Iceland's national legislature today.
Greenland's ice sheet covers approximately 1.71 million square kilometres — about 80% of the island. It is the second-largest ice body in the world after Antarctica's ice sheet. If it were to melt completely, global sea levels would rise by an estimated 7.4 metres, threatening coastal cities worldwide.
