Eirik the Red's Saga is a 13th-century Icelandic saga that recounts the exploration of Greenland and Vinland (North America) by Norse settlers. It follows Eirik the Red, an outlawed Norwegian who, after being exiled from Iceland, sails west and establishes the first Norse settlements in Greenland around the year 985. The saga also focuses on Eirik's children, especially his son Leif Erikson, who becomes a famous explorer. Inspired by tales of lands further west, Leif sails and discovers regions he names Helluland, Markland, and Vinland—believed to be parts of modern Canada. Unlike Greenland, Vinland is rich, fertile, and promising. The narrative blends history, legend, and the supernatural, including encounters with indigenous peoples (referred to as "Skrælings") and mysterious omens.

It remains one of the earliest European accounts of voyages to North America, centuries before Columbus, celebrating the Viking spirit of discovery while revealing their struggles to survive in unknown lands.arise, but the Norse attempts to settle Vinland ultimately fail due to hostility and isolation.
