↟ Skaði – The mythical goddess of the Scandinavian Wilderness.
❄️ Skaði hunts in the mountains of Scandes with a bow and cross-country skis, and is sometimes associated with the winter dís. She's living among frost giants in Trymheim and Jotunheim, and the giant Tjasse is her father. In Norse mythology the story goes that she came to Asgard to avenge her father – the giant Tjasse who was killed by the gods of Asgard. Instead of revenge the gods offered her a compensation – she would marry one of them. To do so, she had to choose by looking at their feet while they're lined up behind a cloth.
❄ Skaði wanted to marry the god of light Baldr, and thought that the most beautiful feet must be his. But it was not, those feet belonged to the god of the sea; Njord. The marriage was not successful, Njord wanted to live by the sea in his dwelling Noatun. Skaði ...- continues in comment below ⬇️

...- has the same etymology origin as the English "scatche". Scandinavian winters can be both wild, brutal and untamed – referred to 'Dangerous Island' which is a good translation as it was very dangerous for southern people to travel to Scandinavia during winter.
❄ Strabo – a Greek geographer and historian born 63BC, and other historians for a long time believed that Scandinavia was an island by southern people called Skaði's island. Therefore the name Scania, which is the origin of southern parts in Sweden. The North Germanic ethnic groups that inhabits Scandinavia to this day, and the countries that includes in present day in Scandinavia is Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The countries that includes in the Scandinavian Peninsula is Sweden, Norway and the northwest areas of Finland (Fennoskandia).
