Viking Age

The long reach of Viking Expeditions through most of Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Northern Africa, Asia Minor, the Arctic and to North America

The Viking Age was a period of time in Northern European and Scandinavian history from the eighth to eleventh centuries.[1][2][3] Scandinavian Vikings, also called Norsemen, explored the oceans and rivers of Europe through trade and warfare. The Vikings also reached Iceland, Greenland, Newfoundland, and Anatolia. Some Vikings are believed to have settled at L'Anse aux Meadows, an archaeological site on the northernmost tip of the island of Newfoundland, Canada, at a place they called Vinland.
