Kōrero: Ngā heke i te Wai Nui

Te Wai Nui (Pacific), te moana nui rawa o te ao

Te Wai Nui (Pacific), te moana nui rawa o te ao

I tangohia te whakaahua nei i te rangiātea, mai te waka ātea Galileo i te tau 1990. E 2.6 miriona kiromita tōna tawhiti i te whenua. Kātahi ka mārama te nui whakahirahira o Te Wai Nui (Pacific); nui ake Te Wai Nui i ngā whenua katoa o te ao. Noho marara ana ngā moutere. Ehara i te mea e rite ana te takoto o ēnei moutere – he wai katoa te pito Tonga me te pito Rāwhiti o Te Wai Nui, heoi he nui ngā moutere ki te taha uru me te pokapū.
