Looking at the map, we can see it shows Northern Europe. The shaded areas represent countries that are part of Northern Europe according to this map.
Let’s identify which countries are shaded:
- Iceland (top left, small island)
- Norway (long country on the west side of Scandinavia)
- Sweden (east of Norway, large country)
- Finland (northeast of Sweden)
- Denmark (small country with islands, south of Norway and Sweden)
- Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania (Baltic states — shaded in the southeast part of the map)
- Also, parts of what looks like Poland and Germany are NOT shaded — so they’re not included here.
Wait — actually, looking again: the shaded area includes:
- Iceland
- Norway
- Sweden
- Finland
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Latvia
- Lithuania
These are the standard Northern European countries as defined by the UN geoscheme.
The question is likely asking: “Which countries are shown as part of Northern Europe on this map?”
Since the user didn’t ask a specific question but just uploaded the image, and given the context (“solve the problem”), I assume the task is to list or identify the shaded countries.
But since no explicit question was asked, and the image is labeled “Northern Europe,” the most logical interpretation is that the student needs to recognize which countries belong to Northern Europe based on the shading.
So, step-by-step:
1. Look at the map title: “Northern Europe”
2. Notice the shaded regions — these are the countries being classified as Northern Europe.
3. Identify each shaded country by shape and location:
- Iceland (isolated island in the North Atlantic)
- Norway (western coast of Scandinavia)
- Sweden (central/eastern Scandinavia)
- Finland (northeast of Sweden)
- Denmark (south of Norway/Sweden, includes Jutland peninsula and islands)
- Estonia (south of Finland, across the Gulf of Finland)
- Latvia (south of Estonia)
- Lithuania (south of Latvia)
All eight of these are shaded.
Therefore, the answer is the list of these countries.
Final Answer:
Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
