The Azores is an archipelago made up of nine islands some 1,400 km from Portugal in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. As such it was thought that the first to discover these islands were the Portuguese themselves in the 15th century. However, recent research on the islands has instead pointed to much earlier human habitation dating back to the 9th century, the authors of several articles arguing that Norse Vikings were the first people on the Azore Islands some 700 years before the Portuguese.
