The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The legend originates from the island of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands archipelago, but this island was not populated until the tenth century.
- According to a 19th-century interpretation of Rarotongan legend by Stephenson Percy Smith, Ui-te-Rangiora and his crew on the vessel Te Ivi o Atea sailed south and encountered an area he called Tai-uka-a-pia, "sea foaming like arrowroot", "a foggy, misty, and dark place not seen by the sun" where rocks grow out of the sea.
- Smith interpreted this as referring to the ice floes and icebergs in the Southern Ocean, due to the ice floes being similar to arrowroot powder.
