Leif Eriksson referred to Baffin Island, Labrador, and Newfoundland as "Vinland," which means "Land of Wine" in Old Norse. He named it this due to the presence of wild grapes he discovered there, which he believed could be used for winemaking. Eriksson's exploration around the year 1000 marked one of the earliest known European contacts with North America, long before Columbus's voyages. The name "Vinland" reflects both the natural resources he encountered and the Viking spirit of exploration.
