When did Leif Ericson start exploring?
The year 2000 was named the Year of the Viking, because it marked the millennium of Leif Erikson's arrival in North America. In 985, a Viking named Bjarni Herjolfson, on the way from Iceland to Greenland, was driven off course by storms and fog. Eventually he sighted wooded land. It didn't look like the description of Greenland he had been given, so he sailed north until he found the Viking settlement on Greenland. Fifteen years later Leif Eriksson set out with 34 men to find the land Bjarni had described. After passing areas they named Helluland, (Flat-Stone Land) and Markland (Woodland), they found a river outlet. They followed the river to a lake, carried their skin sleeping-bags off the boat and built huts. Later they decided to build a big house and stay for the winter. They found lots of salmon, and the climate was milder than on Greenland. The next summer they sailed back to Greenland. The hostility of the Native Americans, whom they named skraelings, discouraged permanent settling, but they returned repeatedly to explore further along the North American coast and gather furs, timber and iron. Two Icelandic sagas, The Greenlander's Saga and Eirik' s Saga, tell of Leif's discovery of a new land southwest of Greenland. Some scholars believe that Columbus learned about America through the Icelandic sagas in 1477 when he traveled to Iceland. In 1961, Norwegian archaeologists Helge Ingstad and his wife Anne Stine discovered remains of a Viking settlement on Newfoundland, near the village L'Anse aux Meadows. Ingstad and his crew spent six years exploring the site. One house had a fireplace of the same design as that on Leif Eriksson's farm on Greenland. Many other buildings and numerous artifacts were uncovered. The site was large enough to house about 90 people. There is now a National Historic site with reconstructed buildings at L'Anse aux Meadows. The remains of the original buildings have been left as they were discovered by the Ingstads. Adjacent to the site are reconstructions of the buildings, a museum and an interpretative center.

Who were the first europeans to reach the americas and when did they arrive?
The first Europeans to arrive in North America -- at least the first for whom there is solid evidence -- were Norse, traveling west from Greenland, where Erik the Red had founded a settlement around the year 985. In 1001 his son Leif is thought to have explored the northeast coast of what is now Canada and spent at least one winter there. Many European fishermen fished the waters off the northern coasts of North America and the US but did not settle there. The Spanish conquistadores explored the Southwest of what would become the US in the 1500s but did not establish permanent settlements. St. Augustine, Florida, was founded in 1565 by the Spanish. The British tried to establish a settlement in Virginia, known as Roanake, Virginia, in 1587 but the colony, known as the lost colony, did not survive. The Jamestown colony in 1607 was the first permanent British colony in North America.
