King Olaf provided Leif Erikson with support and encouragement for his explorations and missionary efforts. He recognized Leif's potential and granted him the resources and backing necessary for his voyages, particularly in spreading Christianity to the Norse settlers in Greenland and beyond. This support was crucial in helping Leif become one of the first Europeans to reach North America, specifically Vinland, which is believed to be part of modern-day Canada.
