Ui-te-rangiora

We're totally stoked with the concept illustration Ruben O'Hara did for the project. It depicts the journey of Polynesian explorer Ui-te-rangiora in the year 650 (that’s hundreds of years before Kupe came to NZ). He sailed south far enough to encounter icebergs! In my books that makes him the fist Antarctica scientist and a key inspiration for the project
