The herders and farmers who migrated from Scandinavia are primarily associated with the Viking Age, which began around the late 8th century. These Norse settlers, including groups like the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians, embarked on expeditions across Europe, reaching as far as the British Isles, Iceland, Greenland, and even North America. They were known for their seafaring skills and established trade routes, settlements, and agricultural practices in the regions they settled. Their migrations significantly influenced the cultures and societies of the areas they encountered.
Hundreds of thousands of people have migrated to Scandinavia over history.
