Leif Erikson Awards
The Leif Erikson Awards, sometimes referred to as the Exploration Awards, are awarded annually by the Exploration Museum in Húsavík, Iceland, for achievements in exploration and for documentation of exploration history. They are awarded in three categories; to an explorer for a lifetime achievement in exploration, to a young explorer under the age of 35 for achievements in exploration, and to a person or an organization that has worked to promote and preserve exploration history. The Leif Erikson Awards are the main and final event of the annual ''Húsavík Explorers Festival''. The awards were first awarded in 2015 and will be awarded next in October 2016.
The awards are named for Icelandic explorer Leif Erikson, considered as the first European to land in North America and who, according to the Sagas of Icelanders, established the first Norse settlement at Vinland, tentatively identified with the Norse L'Anse aux Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland in modern-day Canada.
== Scientific Committee ==
The winners of the Leif Erikson awards are voted by the members of the Exploration Museum's Scientific Committee. The committee is appointed for one year by the board of the museum, except for the chairperson, who is the winner of the previous year's Leif Erikson Exploration History award.
