A short scan of Māori journeys to Antarctica

That was a bit of a bait-and-switch: there's essentially no information about pre-modern Māori or Polynesian journeys to Antarctica.

I've found the open-source text of the fragment of the oral story that was mentioned (recorded by a British historian in 1899). The fragment excerpted is in Ch. 7 of the wikisource version. Note that Wikipedia strongly warns that this historian is an unreliable source.

("...he was more uncritical and framed hypotheses on what now seems slender linguistic and traditional evidence"; "...it is now generally accepted that much of his work on the Maori is unreliable")
