Answer:

Leif Erikson

Discovery of America

Step-by-step explanation:

However, Leif Erikson, around 1000 AD had landed in present-day Canada. This discovery had no impact on European history and was not well documented. Columbus discovered America in the sense that he was the first person to create repeated exploration and contact with the New World.
