La Brana 2 clusters with Swedes there.
EDIT: With Sami shown separate from Swedes, that is.
One more thought: Such plots are always a projection of multi dimensional information down to two-dimensional (sometimes three-dimensional), which means many informations are being sacrificed in order to be able to make a visually comprehensible representation. In the first plot above I noticed that Hungarians cluster closest with both, Swedes and Romanians. I think this not possible. At the same time, many swedish individuals appear much more distant to other swedes than all hungarian individuals. Not to mention Finns. I guess this map exaggerated the recent isolation effects of populations more than their ancestries. Notably the second plot looks different. It depends on the actual samples which principal components are being selected by the algorithm. They can be different each time.
