The Vikings were seafaring people from Scandinavia. Known for their daring voyages, they explored, raided, and settled across Europe, reaching as far as North America. Their longships enabled them to travel vast distances. The Vikings left a lasting impact on the regions they encountered through trade, settlement, and cultural exchanges, and their rich mythology and sagas continue to captivate imaginations today.
