Gunnbjörn Ulfsson

Gunnbjörn Ulfsson, also called Gunnbjörn Ulf-Krakuson, was a Norse explorer, originally from Norway and later a settler of Iceland. He is credited with being the first European to sight Greenland when he was blown off course during a voyage from Norway to Iceland. Several modern place names in Greenland commemorate him, most notably Gunnbjørn Fjeld, the island’s highest mountain.
