The first European explorer widely credited with reaching America is Christopher Columbus, who arrived in the Bahamas in 1492. However, Norse explorer Leif Erikson is believed to have reached parts of North America, specifically present-day Newfoundland, Canada, around the year 1000 AD, well before Columbus.
