Not quite. The traditional Viking belief was that Jörmungandr (the Great Serpent) encircled the world, biting its own tail, keeping the world's oceans contained. That on the day Jörmungandr released his tail, the world would end.

The perspective more closely resembles a bowl.

There was no fear however that they could sail too far and fall off. The more realistic fear was that they would sail too far and get lost, or that their long boat would potentially sink and they would die (dieing other than in battle did not guarantee a place in Valhalla so was not an attractive option).
