Final answer:

The Vikings settled in North America, Iceland, and France.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Vikings settled in three main areas:

  1. North America: The Vikings briefly established a settlement in present-day Newfoundland, Canada, around the start of the eleventh century, becoming the first Europeans to reach North America.
  2. Iceland: The Vikings colonized and settled in Iceland, which was previously uninhabited when they arrived.
  3. France: The Vikings settled in northern France, establishing the duchy of Normandy in 911. They also established settlements throughout the British Isles, including England, Scotland, and Ireland.
