He lead a group of Vikings, who became the first Europeans to land in America.
He Was The First European Explorer To Land In North America.
He was probably a farmer. Most Vikings were.
It is not exactly known as to when or where Leif Ericson died. Most likely somewhere in Greenland between 1019 and 1025.
Most scholars don't believe that Leif ever made it down to New York.
Leif Ercson died long ago but his expedition did end even before he died. No one knows exactly what day or year that his expedition ended but it is said that Ericson's brother, Thorvald, gathered Leif supplies for another expedition. But the question is, did he go on another expedition after his most famous??
Probably Leif Ericson, though at this distance it is hard to tell how much that's told about him is truth, and how much is "legend".
Scandinavia
Very well, he went on to be a great leader.
Leif Erikson was one of the most important Viking (from Scandinavia) Explorers. He was Norse, not Polish.
He was a Norse mariner born in Iceland and later moved to Greenland.
It depends on your point of view, I personally believe they are Magellan, Columbus, and Leif Eriksson
Leif Erickson. He established a settlement on Newfoundland. He was born about 970 - 980, most likely on Iceland. Leif discovered North America either when he was blown off course on his way to introduce Christianity to Greenland, or he found it after hearing about it from another Greenlander who had been blown off course and had seen land to the west, and went looking for it. His father, Eric the Red, established the first settlements on Greenland.
