Mysteries of Easter Island

2,000 miles away from civilization, the fascinating Easter Island in the South Pacific, formed by volcanic rock, is famous for its coastal statues.

Easter Island has long been the subject of curiosity and speculation. A triangle of volcanic rock in the South Pacific, Easter Island is over 2000 miles away from the nearest population center, making it one of the most isolated spots on Earth. It is best known for the giant stone statues, known as the Moai, that dot the coastline.
