Lief Ericson, born in a house like this replica near Budardalur














































This was a great site to visit.  Leif Ericson was born in Iceland around 980 AD.  He is the first explorer to have set foot on Vinland / North America.  Vinland was the Viking name for North America.  There is archaeological evidence that the Vikings discovered North America 5 five centuries before Christopher Columbus.
