Easter Island (Rapa Nui)
The remote Pacific island famous for its moai statues/World Landmarks
Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth, located 3,500 km from the Chilean coast in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The island covers about 164 square kilometers and is roughly triangular, formed by three extinct volcanoes. It is famous for its 887 moai, monolithic carved stone figures averaging 4 m tall and 12.5 tonnes each, though the largest erected moai (Paro) stood 10 m tall and weighed 82 tonnes. The Rapa Nui people carved and transported these statues between roughly 1250 and 1500 AD.
