Leif Erickson
Leif Erikson, Leiv Eiriksson or Leif Ericson is a Nordic explorer from Iceland. He is believed to be the first known European to reach the North American continent, about half a millennium before Christopher Columbus. According to the Icelandics, he established a Nordic settlement in Vinland, commonly understood as the coast of North America. There is currently speculation that the settlement made by Leif and his crew matches the remains of a Nordic settlement found in Newfoundland, Canada, known as L'Anse aux Meadows and has occupied c. 1000. Leif is the son of Erik the Red, the founder of the first Nordic settlement of Greenland and Thjodhild, both of Norwegian descent. His birthplace is unknown, but he is believed to have been born in Iceland, recently settled by Norwegians mainly from Norway. He grew up on the Brattahlíð family estate in the eastern colonies of Greenland.
