News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speakes to Jacinta Beckwith, a research fellow at the University of Otago, about her part in the research into Māori connections to Antarctica. The study found that Māori exploration to Antarctica could go back as far as the 7th century. Jemima talks to Jacinta about her research process, working with both written and oral histories, as well as why connecting mātauranga Māori and Western science for future exploration of Antarctica is important.
