The first Europeans known to have explored the Americas were the Norse, led by Leif Erikson around the year 1000 AD. They established a settlement called Vinland, believed to be located in present-day Newfoundland, Canada. However, widespread European exploration began with Christopher Columbus's voyages in 1492, which opened the Americas to European exploration and colonization.
