Ui-te-Rangiora : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ui-te-Rangiora
Ui-te-Rangiora is believed to have been a 7th-century Māori navigator from the island of Rarotonga. According to Māori legend, Ui-te-Rangiora sailed south and encountered ice floes and icebergs in the Southern Ocean. He called this area of southern ocean Tai-uka-a-pia (sea foaming like arrowroot) due to the ice floes being similar to arrowroot powder. It is also claimed by some that Ui-te-Rangiora reached the Ross Ice Shelf, although he did not land on it. ==Authenticity== The veracity of Ui-te-Rangiora reaching Antarctic waters has been questioned.〔Kieran Mulvaney, ''At the Ends of the Earth: A History of the Polar Regions''〕 It has been claimed that in 1886 Lapita pottery shards were discovered on the Antipodes Islands, indicating that Polynesians did reach that far south.〔(''Te Ao Hou The Maori Magazine'', no. 59 (June 1967), p. 43 )〕
