My guess is that the Vikings raided and traded for slaves, raped the slaves, and their children were born as full members of Scandinavian society. This doesn't really surprise me.

Slaves from different parts of the world were the underclass in Scandinavia during the Viking era, mostly doing unskilled labour. Slavery was abolished in Norway in the 14th century, and former slaves merged with the local population. Even though it took a few hundred years, the abolishing of slavery was largely inspired by Norway becoming christian in the 11th century.

DNA studies are not still 100% accurate, perfect, or unquestionable. Plus general news websites simplify genetic studies; e.g. I have encountered many confused people on internet who think Sub-Saharan Africans are original/untouched/unmixed/pure humans. Why? Because they just read stuff like Out of Africa, Eve (first woman), and etc. They ignore other facts or they don't know anything about other stuff like archaic human admixture among modern humans.
