Christopher Columbus was the first European to cross over the Atlantic ocean and document a new land. There were a few issues with his crossing. He thought, for example, he had landed in India. There are people that would diminish his contributions, but prior to the landing by Columbus, the known world had no idea that anything was west of the Ocean. He was a great man that was years ahead of his time.
There is some evidence that a few individuals came from Norway or other countries to the new land, but their discoveries were not documented and no trail of there crossing is recoverable. Columbus allowed the ability for Europeans to develop the new world. An awesome accomplishment, to say the least.
