So I know that the trick to settle America early is settling Iceland, but what's the trick to settling Iceland? Do you need to settle Ireland to make the crossing? There is ocean between Ireland and Iceland. I have seen AAR's without the Ireland city so I am a little confused.
 
Tip of Ireland or NW tip of Scotland w/ first border pop. Settle Reykjavik, wait for pop first border pop, settle Vinland to get around the Cape at Nova Scotia. You can avoid this by waiting for additional border pops from your city in Scotland.

When the Vikings get compass it becomes coast.

The circled areas are the places you should settle to get to Iceland. When your culture spreads over ocean tiles, you can sail over them.

Edit.: And yes, I have hegemony over the Mediterranean. Italy makes for a prime spot because of its high production rate and the fact that it's not part of a flip zone. (Plus, you need a victim for the Vikings' first goal) :devil:
