Icelandic soccer player, Haraldur Björnsson.
I saw a post asking if there is a pan-euro phenotype, and here it is: Alpine/Atlantid + CM.
Since his phenotype exists in nordic countries (as he is fully icelander) and he also looks central euro/southern euro/balkans passing in Greece, Portugal, Italy (even in Russia he can pass); and, obviously, being more typical in some places and less typical in others.

I agree, would pass practically anywhere in Europe.

He could pass in Spain too.

To me he could actually pass anywhere in Europe, as Keraunos said

My Brother is very Pan European especially when he was younger. Could fit just about anywhere.

Do you have a pic of his from nowadays?

Could he pass in Russia, Ukraine, Malta, or Cyprus?

Yep, he looks very pan-euro too
Although I think the icelander I posted still looks a bit more pan-euro than your brother

I think so (even though not the most typical)

I dunno, maybe. He looks Western to me. I can see him passing in parts of Southeast Europe, but I'd be curious about the opinions of Eastern Europeans on how he would be perceived in their countries.

Alpine types pass all over Europe as far as I know

wow I thought this was clickbait but it's actually pretty accurate. I would believe he is Norwegian, Greek, Spanish and Polish.

Very pan euro indeed

I think Katia Zygouli, who is Greek, is more pan-European. She can pass in every European country.

I don't think she looks so pan-european to pass in some nordic countries such as iceland, norway etc (even as atypical). I wonder what a child of theirs would be like (if they still would look so pan-euro like their parents).

I promise I'm gonna answer your PM later on, it's because I gotta go now

I think she passes as more typical in Scandinavia than the man you posted actually.

He gives me a Franco-Spanish vibe yes, actually he looks somewhat familiar for many places I guess. Could probably pass in Germany as well. That's curious since he's Icelandic.

Icelandic people are half Norse, half Gaelic.

He doesn't look so icelander although he's ethnically from there, but he would fit in Norway and Denmark very easily the same way he would in Spain, Greece, Italy...

I wouldn't say in such amount, rather 75% Nordic (Norvegians colons, some Danes) + 25% or less Celtic from Irish they brought with them in colonisation time.

Though that's expected to look very NW euro, that guy looks really more broadly European which is surprising for such ancestry.

In some of the pictures he looks really Greek which is surprising given how far away Iceland is from Greece.

I think it is likely due to the Gaelic component in Iceland. There are some Irish with an AtlantoMed/Pontid look that can look Greek, Spanish, etc.

Yes they have quite darker features and special phenotype for NW Europe, agreed. He got some combo from his genes to look that much pan-euro that's impressive for someone who's not euro-mixed.

The same can be true for southwest England also.

Agree, he might look out of place in some areas, but close enough. I think he looks Italian here:

I read that alpine people pass everywhere but they usually have their local influences too.
Do you think pan-euro can exist? Considering balkan region has overlap with outside europe too?

Ilma looks quite pan-European :laugh:

He would have been if he had light eyes.

Brown eyes and Europe don't go well together.

Probably less than this guy and it's more logical because I'm somewhat euro-mixed which he's not :eek:

Yes, he looks like he could pass in Spain, England, France, etc. I don't know about S. Italy, though.

lol sure
europeans who are dark brown-haired and brown-eyed are obviously mixed with africans lol
