Leif Ericson, a Norse explorer from Iceland, is believed to have explored parts of North America around the year 1000 AD. He is most famously associated with the discovery of Vinland, which is thought to correspond to areas of present-day Newfoundland, Canada. Ericson's voyages are significant as they represent some of the earliest known European contact with North America, predating Columbus by nearly 500 years. His explorations also included regions along the northeastern coast and possibly further south.
