(970s to 1025) Known as Leif the Lucky, Norse explorer who established the settlement known as [[Vinland]] in North America, about 1000 CE. Leif was probably born in [[Iceland]], but would have lived in [[Greenland]] as a boy, when his father [[Erik the Red]] was leader of the Norse settlement there. Leif has been commemorated in statues in Saint Paul, Minnesota; Seattle, Washington, Boston, Massachusetts; and Reykjavik, Iceland.  ---- For More Info: Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leif_Erikson History.com: https://www.history.com/articles/6-viking-leaders-you-should-know History.com: https://www.history.com/articles/leif-eriksson
