Trindade and Martin Vaz is an archipelago located in the Southern Atlantic Ocean about 1,100 kilometres east of the coast of Espírito Santo, Brazil, which it constitutes a part of. The archipelago has a total area of 10.4 square kilometres and a population of 32 . The archipelago consists of five islands and several rocks and stacks; Trindade is the largest island, with an area of 10.1 square kilometres ; about 49 kilometres east of it are the tiny Martin Vaz islets, with a total area of 0.3 square kilometres . The islands are of volcanic origin and have rugged terrain. They are largely barren, except for the southern part of Trindade. They were discovered in 1502 by Portuguese explorer Estêvão da Gama and stayed Portuguese until they became part of Brazil at its independence in 1822. From 1895 to 1896, Trindade was occupied by the United Kingdom until an agreement with Brazil was reached. During the period of British occupation, Trindade was known as South Trinidad. The islands are situated some 2,100 kilometres southwest of Ascension Island and 2,550 kilometres west of Saint Helena, while the distance to the west coast of Africa is 4,270 kilometres .
