Yes, Vikings were Scandinavian, primarily originating from modern-day Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. Scandinavia’s geographical features, like its extensive coastlines and mountainous terrain, fostered a maritime culture, making Vikings skilled sailors and explorers. Norse society was characterized by its distinct language, mythology, art, and social customs, shared across Scandinavia. During the Viking Age (circa 793-1066 AD), these seafaring people spread their influence far beyond Scandinavia, reaching as far as North America, Russia, and the Middle East. Viking expeditions and trade routes facilitated the exchange of goods, ideas, and culture across Europe and contributed to the shaping of medieval European society. Scandinavia's rich Norse heritage is still celebrated today, and Norse cultural influences are reflected in Scandinavian languages, traditions, and historical preservation efforts.
