More than 1000 years ago, a bunch of guys jumped into a little boat to see what was out there. They likely became the first Westerners in the New World. Happy Leif Erikson Day 2022! https://t.co/qmilde8QeQ

Today is the common celebration of Leif Erikson's Day Leif Erikson was an Orthodox Christian Norse explorer who landed in America centuries before Christopher Columbus. He returned to the Old Country telling the world of his discovery, but they would sadly forget his efforts. https://t.co/Xf84Sb3n6m
