Bjorni Herefson

Bjorni Herefson was a Viking explorer who is believed to have reached North America around 1000 AD. He is thought to have been the first European to set foot on the continent, although this is not universally accepted. Herefson is known for his bravery and his navigational skills, and is celebrated as a hero in Icelandic folklore. Unfortunately, little is known about his life beyond his explorations.
