What ๐ฎ๐ธ means
A red Nordic cross edged in white on blue is the flag of Iceland, the volcanic island nation in the North Atlantic.
Travelers post ๐ฎ๐ธ with waterfalls, volcanoes, ๐ and northern lights. Football fans remember the slow "Viking clap" of Icelandic supporters and pair it with ๐.
It uses the same colors as ๐ณ๐ด Norway, reversed, so the two get mixed up.
