Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer, likely learned how to sail from his father, Erik the Red, who was also an experienced sailor and explorer. Erik the Red is credited with establishing the first Norse settlements in Greenland, and it is likely that he passed down his knowledge and skills to Leif Erikson.
