The vikings were not a single entity. A viking was simply a trader/raider. They could have belonged to any Scandinavian country. From Iceland to Sweden and anywhere in between.

So, they were not led by any one person. They weren't an army of any sort. Just traders who sometimes raided the easy targets.

Also bear in mind, not everyone who lived during the viking age was a viking. They were mostly farmers.

However, to answer the question, the "leader" of the Vikings in 1000 on the voyage to Greenland was "Eric the Red". On the voyage to North America, it was "led" by "Leif Ericson".
