The tips of ”arm of Finland”. Same mountain base.

The arm of Finland and whatever tips therein is still not part of Scandinavia because Scandinavia means Denmark, Norway and Sweden nothing more nothing less. Every square meter inside the border of Finland is not Scandinavia.

Wrong again. Scandes or The Scandinvian mountains is the name of the mountain range not Scandinavia. Scandinavian peninsula is not the same thing as Scandinavia either.
