Misidentified

The statue in the photograph has been misidentified on Wikimedia Commons as Erik the Red, but it is a statue of Leif Erikson (it fact, it's a later casting of the statue found in Seattle, Washington, USA). See information on it's dedication here (from the official site of Greenland's Leif 2000 celebration): https://web.archive.org/web/20050424015912/http://greenland-guide.gl/leif2000/day2day15.htm and here (from the LEIF organization which helped provide funds): https://www.leiferikson.org/Greenland.htm Beneathtimp (talk) 00:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
