The main Viking exploration routes

The Vikings were famous explorers and traders who established settlements throughout Europe and beyond from the late 8th to early 11th centuries. Some of the main routes they took for exploration, trade, and colonization were:

- North America - The Vikings established short-lived settlements in Newfoundland, Canada between 1000-1300 CE. This was centuries before Christopher Columbus' voyages. They likely reached the northeast coast of North America. [[source 1]]

- Western Europe - Many Vikings first raided the coasts of England, Ireland, France and Spain. Later some settled permanently in places like Normandy (northern France). They established trading ports and settlements. [[source 2]]

- Eastern Europe - Vikings explored and traded extensively along rivers in Eastern Europe, reaching as far as the Black Sea. Major trade routes went from Scandinavia to the Baltic states and Russia. Some Vikings settled permanently in lands that later became part of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. [[source 3]]

- Mediterranean - Some daring Viking traders and raiders used the major rivers of Eastern Europe to reach the Mediterranean Sea and even the Middle East. They established trade outposts in places like Sicily. [[source 4]]

- Iceland - The Vikings were the first settlers of Iceland, establishing a colony there in the late 9th century CE. Iceland went on to have an important Viking-Norse culture. [[source 5]]

- Greenland - Vikings founded an outpost in Greenland around 985 CE that lasted for centuries. They likely reached the easternmost shores of North America from Greenland. [[source 6]]
