Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer from Iceland, is believed to have sailed to North America around the year 1000 AD. He is credited with reaching a place he called Vinland, which is widely thought to be located in present-day Newfoundland, Canada. This voyage made him one of the first known Europeans to set foot on the continent, long before Christopher Columbus. Erikson's explorations are documented in the Icelandic sagas, which recount the journeys of early Norse explorers.
