Ui-Te-Rangiora was a Maori explorer who was probably the first known person to ever set sight on Antarctica. He didn’t land there. It was pretty obviously inhospitable. But I don’t see why you wouldn’t want to name a university after him, in Antarctica.
I designed the look of this university after the Barbican, one of my favourite locations in London. Look it up. It’s neat.
This coffee shop is colloquially known as “Coffee Coffee Coffee” to people who frequent it, as its only apparent title is “coffee” in a bunch of different languages.
