ЧТО ОЗНАЧАЕТ СЛОВО POLYNESIA
Полинезия
Полинезия является субрегионом Океании, состоящим из более чем 1000 островов, разбросанных по центральной и южной части Тихого океана. Местные жители, населяющие острова Полинезии, называются полинезийцами, и они имеют много сходных черт, включая язык, культуру и убеждения. Исторически они были опытными моряками и использовали звезды для навигации ночью. Термин «Полинезия» впервые был использован в 1756 году французским писателем Шарлем де Броссом и первоначально применялся ко всем островам Тихого океана. В 1831 году Жюль Дюмон д'Юрвиль предложил ограничить его использование во время лекции в Географическом обществе Парижа.
