The Sirius star(s) 8000 light away was discovered before Europe.
In fairness, Uranus is much larger than Antarctica.

I don’t know about you, but I find seeing things to be much easier when there isn’t a planet obscuring it.
But you can see one in your backyard sometimes.
Oh, you have your own The Antarctica too?
It's like it tell my kids, you have to look under and behind things…
tbf, discovering Uranus was a lot less deadly before modern icebreaking ships. Age of Sail ships did not do well down there, and the economic incentives of sealing resulted in quite a lot of casualties back in the day. Doing math and peering through telescopes is much safer.
