The Vikings lived mainly in Scandinavia, they grew up there as did their fathers and grandfathers. Their ancestors moved to the area thousands of years previously when it would have been a little warmer. The hunting and fishing were good, so they stayed!
Later, when farming became the more reliable way to feed their families the population became larger. The good farmland was already owned so some of them moved to similar areas such as Iceland, Scotland, Northern England, Ireland and Greenland.
They had their own methods of farming and their own crops, to move to a warmer climate would have meant learning new skills with different crops, and they would have had to fight for the land in warmer areas. They did this in northern France and were given Normandy, but this was an exception.
