The Vikings were one of history's great maritime peoples & voyaged to a lot of places, including into Russia, the Mediterranean & even to North America. But as "settlements," excluding Iceland, certainly the most famous place they "first" settled was Normandy in Northern France. The name means Land of the Norseman or Land of the North People (Vikings). However, within a couple of centuries or so after settling in Normandy, they produced the Norman Empire, the only real high point in Europe's early Middle Ages, which at one point included even Sicily & Jerusalem.
