How did leif erickson navigate?
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.
Who commanded the viking in 1000 AD?
The vikings were not a single entity. A viking was simply a trader/raider. They could have belonged to any Scandinavian country. From Iceland to Sweden and anywhere in between. So, they were not led by any one person. They weren't an army of any sort. Just traders who sometimes raided the easy targets. Also bear in mind, not everyone who lived during the viking age was a viking. They were mostly farmers. However, to answer the question, the "leader" of the Vikings in 1000 on the voyage to Greenland was "Eric the Red". On the voyage to North America, it was "led" by "Leif Ericson".

Where did the Vikings actually land in Canada?
the vikings did not originate in Canada. they are said to have originated in the Sweden- Iceland area. They did immigrate to Canada, though. Bjarni Herjolfsson was said to be the first Icelandic viking to land in Canada, but he isn't the official one. He was on his way to Greenland but lost his way, landing in Labrador or Baffin Island in Canada.A small settlement was discovered in Canada, and it it theorized that it was inhabited by a people of Viking-Eskimo extraction before being abandoned in the Middle Ages.Leif Ericson was born in Iceland, but moved to Greenland in 986. That same year Bjarni Herjolfson, who was following Ericson to Greenland, missed the island and sailed in a south-westerly direction and sighted both the Labrador coast and Newfoundland.And so hearing of Bjarni Herjolfson's adventures, Leif Ericson led the first voyage the North America around 1000 A.D.
When did viking leif eriksson explore vinland?
around 1000 CE.
