Reminds me of the farmer who foolishly painted 'piss off biggles' on top of his farm shed in Wales.

Yeah, it's trying to put the brakes on, knowing it's being taken fucking miles away from it's home, all to the delightful soundtrack of a lawnmower engine.
When we did a couple of wee excursions into the Amazon - sure, the guide would find one, get it out of the tree, terrify it, let us all ooh-and-aah over it, take photos, blah blah blah - but then he'd at least have the courtesy to put it back in the tree it wanted to be in, as high as possible.

I know. That's what made me post it. Beyond imagination that the energy from the rockfall could almost instantly melt that amount of ice and create a runaway wet concrete river.
The scale is huge. -
@taniwharugby Bit late to this thread, but I spit my coffee when he got to the wings.

its pretty impressive the amount of exploring Maori/Polynesians did!
I thought this was interesting but it seems a bit doubtful as it's one "myth" submitted to a somewhat dodgy European recorder. Sent it to my mate (who has a PhD in Maori Migration) and he thought it was hookum.
But agree with your comment on the amount of exploring Polynesians did considering how far they went throughout the Pacific.
I might see if I can find the actual paper to have a read though.
