Leif Eriksson became an explorer due to his Viking heritage and inspiration from fellow explorer Bjarni Herjólfsson, who spoke of lands to the west. His expedition to Vinland marked a significant moment in Norse exploration of North America, driven by the pursuit of new resources and territory. Leif's voyages set the stage for future explorations and interactions with Indigenous peoples in the region.
