As you know, the vikings were an ancient people from Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) who travelled over Europe when nobody dares to move from his land or little village.
They were courageus and rude warriors, but intrepid explorers and brave sailors too.
They sailed from coast to coast, sometimes robbering rich monasteries, but many times knowing differents places, trading with a lot of villages, setting up settlements all over Europe, and even beyond...
See this map: over the year 1000, one viking captain, Leif Eriksson, traveled with his men from Groenland to Terranova in North America!! Being by this way the first european that saw America (almost 500 years before Christopher Columbus).
