The Viking Age conventionally spans from the raid on Lindisfarne monastery in northeastern England on June 8, 793, to the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, roughly 270 years of Scandinavian expansion. Leif Erikson reached North America around 1000 AD, nearly 500 years before Columbus, establishing a settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland confirmed by archaeological excavation in the 1960s. Viking longships, with their shallow drafts of less than half a meter, could navigate both open oceans and shallow rivers, enabling the Varangians to trade and raid from Baghdad to Constantinople via Russian waterways while simultaneously colonizing Iceland, Greenland, and briefly North America.
