The Vikings were in this part of the world circa 1,000 A.D.
That's a long long time before Columbus was just a tingle in his
father's loins.

This would explain why we celebrate Lief Erikson Day, and why most of
North America speaks Norwegian as its first language?

If it doesn't have consequences, it wasn't discovery.
