Despite being over 2,000 miles from New Zealand’s capital Wellington,
the country has decided to unveil a bizarrely placed Maori statue in
the depths of Antarctica, celebrating with a present of whisky from a
100-year-old frozen hoard. Prime Minister John Key and Ngai Tahu tribal leader Sir Mark Solomon both unveiled the Maori artifact as part of celebrations in New Zealand surrounding the 56th anniversary of Antarctic research facility Scott Base.
