Leif Erikson was a Norse explorer from Iceland, believed to have been born around 970 AD. He is best known for being one of the first Europeans to reach North America, specifically landing in a region he called Vinland, which is thought to be part of modern-day Newfoundland, Canada. His voyages occurred approximately 500 years before Christopher Columbus's expeditions to the Americas. Leif Erikson is often celebrated for his contributions to exploration and is regarded as a significant figure in Viking history.
