Did the vikings explore north America?

Answer 1

Greenland and Iceland "new foundland"

They cut wood, because they needed wood. That's why they left their homeland, Scandanavia. They also farmed there and lived there for a while (500 years) until Columbus came in...

Answer 2

Their raids in Europe terrified Europe in the middle ages and they were probably were looking for money or more land because their population was overgrowing in Scandanavia. In the late 800's the vikings invaded Europe. King Alfred of Wessex, then known as Alfred the Great, drove out the vikings back to Scandanavia. In the present, the vikings are now Norway, Sweden, and Denmark today. Their places don't mean terror to us now
