Yes, Vikings did live in Iceland.
Well the third time Erik the Red was kicked out of Europe, he went and claimed the land of Greenland. In spite of the green cropful name, his fellow Europeans (Vikings) went there for better life but all they found was long areas of icey wonderlands. Iceland was a smaller island of the coast of Greenland. The disappointed Europeans (Vikings) explored this land as well and some who were too disappointed, hopeless, or couldn't afford to travel any longer, remained in Iceland.
Actually, the Normans were Vikings who had settled in Francia and were granted their own area of land which became Normandy. In England, they settled in several places and make up a part of England's and Scotland's population today.
