Best Answer

Bjarni Herjólfsson was a 10th century Norse explorer who is credited to be the first European to reach the present day North America. In 986 AD while trying to sail to Greenland to see his father he went off track and came within visual range of North American land but despite his pleading crew he did not stop over and after correcting his track he sailed to Greenland. He however, did visit the land after few years but failed to keep any records nor did he investigate the potential of the land for which he was criticized even by King Eric, ruler of Norway.
