Tell them apart
Iceland vs Norway flag
How to tell them apart
The flags of Iceland and Norway are both Nordic crosses, with the upright set towards the hoist, so they’re easy to mix up at a glance. This is what gives each one away:
- The colours are swapped: Iceland is a blue field with a red cross, Norway a red field with a blue cross.
- Both edge the inner cross in white, so look at the field colour.
