This concise work of early medieval history presents a clear account of how Norse seafarers pushed westward into the North Atlantic, charting their movement through Scotland, Ireland, the Faroes and Iceland with attention to navigation, settlement patterns and cultural exchange. Magnusson illustrates the momentum, ambition and maritime skill that shaped this phase of Viking expansion and its lasting imprint on the societies they encountered.
