He was more than likely born in Iceland. His grandfather was banished from Norway and brought his son, Erik, with him to Iceland, where he grew up and met Lief's mother. Later on, Erik was banished from Iceland, and he and his sons settled Greenland.
They settled in Greenland and Iceland in the 10th century. Earliest records show they came from Denmark and Sweden so the would have used the Norwegian Sea which is not an Ocean.
they attacked the breaking up Roman empire. They raided towns and showed no mercy to women and children. They started raiding more northen European countries and eventually attacked villages further south.
leif erikson was a norwiegen explorer (c. 970 - c. 1020) who discovered Vinland (Modern day Greenland). Like most Vikings of his period he probably travelled by Viking longship. No idea what that one is talking about. ^^ Leifur Eríksson or Leifur the Lucky. Had a father called Eríkur the Red (Eric the Red, in full English) Who was made outlaw in Norway and moved to Iceland. In Iceland he had a son called Leifur. Eríkur was also made outlaw in Iceland, so he sailed away and Eiríkur found Greenland not Leifur. However his son Leifur sailed from Greenland to Vinland which is in Canada. Leifur was born around 980 in Iceland. The area that Leifur found is now call Newfoundland. It was around the year 1000 he found it. Give and take one year. He sailed with a ship type called "Knarr" carries 20-30 people and could carry up to 24 tons of cargo. Knarr was used to sail between Iceland, Greenland, Norway, British Isle... almost anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean. However it was mostly used as Merchant ships. Longships are made to sail in shallow waters cause they only need one meter depth of water and they could turn around without turning the boat around. Those sailed from Sweden through Russia to Istanbul.

Greenland is not near the Equator. The warmest countries are on or near the Equator. Because of the location, Greenland is very cold up far in the North. Everything far South or North of the Equator is usually cold. Ex. Antartica. In my opinion, Greenland should be called Iceland and Iceland should be Greenland considering Iceland is warm and Greenland is cold:)
Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark.
viking who wanted other viking to trade with their current port called the frozen country Greenland to trick the arriving vikings to come there and Iceland is called Iceland because it was a rival group of the Greenland vikings and since the Greenland viking were stronger they named the country Iceland so none would go there and take business away from greenland
