Show transcript
The Vikings used the sun, moon and stars to navigate, and also followed the path of birds and other animals.
Some archaeologists have found wooden 'sun-shadow' boards that might have been used by the Vikings to navigate.
The Vikings used these techniques to travel long distances.
The Vikings sailed far down the rivers of Europe to trading ports and met with traders from the Middle East and Asia.
They even travelled as far as Iceland, Greenland and North America.
