Settling refers to Vikings establishing permanent settlements in new lands to live and farm, while invading involves launching military expeditions to raid and conquer territories for resources or power. Settling was more common in areas like Iceland, Greenland, and parts of Britain, where Vikings aimed to create new homes. Invasions, on the other hand, often targeted wealthier areas like England, Scotland, and Ireland for plunder and control.
