Man, that's impossible, so it's gotta be a guess: First one look Asian, but maybe that because it's overexposed - the nose look broad in the pic. But anyway: Latvia-Finland-Iceland?
(I actually think the last one looks Finnish, but with that blond hair, that would be too easy.)

Well, it's wrong. But I agree it's a hard one. But actually the Latvian girl looks very much like a Latvian friend of mine.

Too easy.
Iceland, Latvia, Finland.
Latvian girl looks very typical. Finnish girl has some unique facial features which I have seen almost only among finns.

Correct line from left to right: Finnish, Icelandic, Latvian. Are you really correct? The girl in the middle (who is supposed to be icelandic) looks really typical latvian what I can't say about the girl in the right side (who is supposed to be latvian).

You can check it out for yourself on this homepage. The Finnish Girl (to the left) is named Taiga Koponen and lives in Stockholm, Sweden. The Icelandic girl in the middle is named Una Eydis Finnsdottir and lives in Reykjavik. And the Latvian girl to the right is named Beate Gebele and lives in Riga.

That icelandic girl confused me. She really looks quite typical latvian in this picture. When I took closer look at her in larger picture I noticed some facial traits which are uncommon among latvians (that's why it's important to post larger pictures). Yes, there are some latvians like her but they aren't that much and they usually have roots from Northern Latvia where goes border with Estonia. This look is more common among estonians and other baltic-finns than among balts (latvians and lithuanians). This latvian girl looks much more typical latvian. If you would post her (instead the girl above) I would undoubtely guess right her ethnicity: It is hard to tell your latvian friend, she is too small in that picture. But it looks like she wouldn't stick out in Latvia. Actually I wanted to classify her as finnish but latvian girl with that baltic-finnic look confused me so I guessed the last one as finnish and this one (with dark hair) I had to classify as icelandic, because she doesn't look latvian at all.

I agree that most Latvians are much less Baltid and often much more Nordid than the posted picture. Among Icelandics (more often on tv than in real life, I admit), I have often noted the rounded features and snub-noses.

Her name does sound Finnish, but it doesn't actually say anything about it on the page?

No, I picked her on a combination of looks and name prejudice. Actually, when spying through the online Swedish phonebook, I found a Taiga Koponen with a chinese middle name. So, her hair is perhaps not dyed after all...
