Leif Erikson Day is an annual American observance occurring on October 9. It honors Leif Ericson (Old Norse: Leifr Eiríksson or the Norwegian: "Leiv Eiriksson"), the Norse explorer who brought the first Europeans known to have set foot in North America.

But it is technically considered part of Europe. Which means Greenland is considered part of North America.
And so is half of Iceland, but that's a different story. |
