1 Scandinavian mile = 10 kilometers. Only used in Sweden and Norway by the way.

As a Norwegian, I have never seen the Norwegian word “mil” translated into English, because there is no English equivalent. Instead, we always convert into kilometers or miles, depending on the audience.

This was a first, and I blame someone else.
