(Years 874-930)According to Landnámabók, Iceland was discovered by Naddoddr, one of the first settlers on the Faroe Islands, who was sailing from Norway to the Faroe Islands, but got lost and drifted to the east coast of Iceland. Naddoddr named the country Snæland (Snowland). Swedish sailor Garðar Svavarsson also accidentally drifted to the coast of Iceland. He discovered that the country was an island and named it Garðarshólmi (literally Garðar's Islet) and stayed for the winter at Húsavík. The first Scandinavian who deliberately sailed to Garðarshólmi was Flóki Vilgerðarson, also known as Hrafna-Flóki (Raven-Flóki). Flóki settled for one winter at Barðaströnd. It was a cold winter, and when he spotted some drift ice in the fjords he gave the island its current name, Ísland (Iceland).
The settlement of Iceland began in AD 874. The first permanent Norse settler was Ingólfur Arnarson. However, it's known that others had visited Iceland earlier and stayed over winter, for example Irish monks.
Leif Eriksson's great great great uncle Noddodd is credited with the discovery of Iceland, and Erik The Red is Leif's father, not his son.
Iceland was discovered by the Vikings about 860 AD, but Irish monks may have been coming to the island to seek isolation earlier.

Please rephrase your question to make it understandable for others. If you mean: "when did he find Iceland", the answer is that he was born there. Iceland had been discovered by the Vikings long before.
The current population of Iceland is just over 250,000 people. This is because when the Vikings discovered it, they did not want everyone cramping into this small island, that is why it got its name. By then, people said "Iceland, hmm, it sounds very cold so I dont want to go there".
