Leif Ericson is considered one of the first Europeans to land in North America, around 1000 AD, over 500 years before Christopher Columbus. He established a Viking settlement in Vinland, which is believed to be modern-day Newfoundland in Canada. This makes him an important figure in early European exploration of the Americas.
