Vikings is an informational text that describes the life and times of a group of Nordic men. Hailing from what are now Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, these explorers sailed far from their homeland to discover new parts of the world. They often invaded towns and monasteries for their riches, and because they were trained at an early age to be warriors and skilled navigators, they were often successful. Eric the Red's and Leif Ericson's explorations to Iceland and Greenland are highlighted. Illustrations, maps, and a timeline support the text.
