What Leif Erickson did as a explorer?

Answer 1

Lief Erickson was the original discoverer of North America. He named it Vinland, due to the proliferation of wine berries. He landed on Nova Scotia where the remains of his encampment has been found. The title of this article is an Icelandic name; the last name is a patronymic, not a family name; this person is properly referred to by the given name Leif, Leifr or Leifur.

Leif Ericson (Old Norse: Leifr Eiríksson)[1] (c. 970 - c. 1020) was a Norse[2] explorer who is regarded as the first European to land in North America (excluding Greenland), nearly five hundred years before Christopher Columbus.[3] According to the Sagas of Icelanders, he established a Norse settlement at Vinland, which has been tentatively identified with the L'Anse aux Meadows Norse site on the northern tip of the island of Newfoundland in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

It is believed that Leif was born about AD 970 in Iceland, the son of Erik the Red (Old Norse: Eiríkr inn rauði), a Norse explorer from Western Norway, an outlaw and himself the son of an outlaw, Thorvald Asvaldsson. Leif's mother was Thjodhild (Þjóðhildr).[4] Erik the Red founded two Norse colonies in Greenland, the Western Settlement and the Eastern Settlement, as he named them. In both Eiríks saga rauða and Landnáma, Leif's father is said to have met and married Leif's mother Thjodhild in Iceland; the site of Leif's birth is not known.[5]

Leif Ericson had two brothers, Thorvald and Thorsteinn, and one half sister,[citation needed] Freydís. He married a woman named Thorgunna, and they had one son, Thorkell Leifsson.
