-Icelandic born Norseman discovered North America (excluding Greenland) in 1002 or 1003 A.D.- OR: They didn't really have colonies if that's what ye mean. Iceland technically is a colony. Though: Due to harsh environmental and economic conditions in Iceland, including the eruption of Mount Askja, some 20,000 Icelanders left their homeland between 1870 and 1915. These Icelandic settlers, known in their native language as Vestur-Íslendingar (meaning West-Icelanders), called this new settlement on Lake Winnipeg New Iceland, and the region remains a symbolic centre of the Icelandic heritage in Canada today. {copied from "Wikipedia".} is that O.K.?'.. Try 'Gimli' at .."Wikipedia" (That's the town they're all at) ;)
