    Blond looks more stereotypical Norwegian but the brown haired girl could fit in many countries.





    I can see people on here saying some of these don't look Scandinavian.

    It's interesting how Swedes and Norwegians despite being each other neighbours and similar being genetically look different in quite significant way from my personal point of view. In a way of ... Swedish people passing as Poles (despite being remarkably different on average, pigmentation etc.) and Norwegiasn simply striking me as very obviously foreign looking more often that not.

    Norwegians look more British yet still quite distinct from the British, Swedes generally look different, especially those from eastern Sweden, just goes to show that genetics barely explains much.

    Well, that's Bergen. Take a look at the capital region (Oslo) and they become indistinguishable from Swedes again.

    I should mention that they could pass in the Midwest too. There might be one or two ringers who would stand out in some places, though.

    No, Poles are mostly not belonging to Nordid phenotype but Swedes are like more neutral looking.
