We might find some old Viking settlements under those glaciers.

Probably not. Glaciers grind granite into dust. Got to be pretty tough on huts and wooden boats.

Actually, they are digging at an old viking farm that was covered as the ice advanced. I don't think it was directly covered by ice, though, but rather by the silt and sand pushed by the ice.
