Researchers have discovered evidence to support the idea that Vikings settled on the Azores several hundred years before the Portuguese arrived in 1427.

...Evolutionary biologist Dr Jeremy Searle of Cornell University has supported the conclusions by Mr Raposeiro.
He has also argued that Vikings made it to the Azores - but his work is based on the mouse as his biological source....

Adored the green meat

They used to be the richest country on the globe.
Now look at them.
They were also a major player in shipping slaves from Africa.

A discovery is rather useless if you’re the only one who knows of it and it dies with you.
That too.
I have not met any Finns who navigated the entire world before anyone else and are only now starting to get props for it.
they whoop the Ussr in the winter war
