They first landed in the northeast part of what is Newfoundland, Canada today. Leif's brother, Thorvald, was wounded by a native and the colony members went back to Iceland. The link below is the one for the UN Historical Site at Lans Aux Meadows.

Read the sagas, in translation. They make great reading.
They describe the fogs and windless days. Those Vikings really were mariners
