Leif Eriksson is best known for being a Norse explorer from Iceland and is often credited as the first European to set foot in North America, specifically in an area he called Vinland, believed to be in present-day Newfoundland, Canada. He was the son of Erik the Red, who founded the first Norse settlement in Greenland. While Leif did not specifically "work for" anyone in the traditional sense, he undertook his explorations independently, motivated by tales of new lands and opportunities. His voyages were part of the broader Viking exploration efforts during the late 10th and early 11th centuries.
