History

Did You Know? (History)

The Vikings explored parts of the North Atlantic.

The Vikings, originating from Scandinavia, undertook extensive exploration and raiding expeditions across the North Atlantic region between roughly the 8th and 11th centuries, reaching as far as Iceland, Greenland, and even parts of North America. Their advanced shipbuilding techniques allowed for both long ocean voyages and navigation of shallow coastal waters and rivers. Beyond raiding, Vikings also engaged extensively in trade and, in some cases, established permanent settlements in the regions they explored.
