Summary The Vikings are undoubtedly the greatest explorers of the Middle Ages. These Scandinavians were capable sailors who colonized a number of islands such as England, Ireland, and further north, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. Greenland was long thought to be the only territory to have resisted the Vikings. According to the most commonly accepted theory, they failed to establish settlements in this land, due to their inability to adapt to the extreme rigours of the climate. Yet the recent discoveries of a Franco-Danish team tell a completely different story.
