According to the Saga of the Greenlanders, the voyage of Leif Ericson [c. 970 - c. 1020] to North America took place in 1002 or 1003. He had traveled already from Iceland, to Greenland, where his father Erik Thorvaldsson ka Erik the Red [950-c. 1003] had founded the first permanent Norse colonies, at the Eastern and Western Settlements. Ericson may have visited Baffin Island, Labrador, and Newfoundland. In the 1950s-1960s, the husband-and-wife team of explorer Helge Marcus Ingstad [December 30, 1899-March 2, 2001] and archaeologist Anne Stine Ingstad [February 11, 1918-November 6, 1997] researched an archaeological site at L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland. They've identified its settlers as Norse, possibly from Ericson's visit. The first known of the three voyages to India by Dom Vasco da Gama [1460? 1469? - December 24, 1524] took place 492-493 years after Ericson's voyage to North America. The Portuguese explorer left from Lisbon, and returned to Portugal, July 8, 1497-September 1499.
