Vikings settled in Iceland around the late 9th century primarily due to its uninhabited land, which offered opportunities for farming and grazing. The island's isolation provided a fresh start for those seeking to escape political turmoil and conflicts in Scandinavia. Additionally, Iceland's abundant Natural Resources, such as fish and geothermal energy, made it an attractive location for settlement and sustainable living.

Where did vikings settle after viking raids?

The vikings told the europeans that they were going to Iceland. And by 'Iceland' they ment the small island by Greenland. At the time Greenland didn't have its name, so the europeans went to Greenland because the vikings described it as 'Iceland' and since Greenland is a very icy island. When they arrived, there were no vikings found. It was the other way around_the vikings went to Iceland, they must have named the smaller island Iceland to trick the europeans to go to Greenland.
