Easter Island Chile (Isla da Pascua) - Pacific Ocean

The Easter Island is one of the most amazing island of the world which is this island also the most isolated islands in the world. The years passed by approximately about 1200 years ago a double-hulled canoe filled with seafarers from a distant culture landed upon its shores.

This Island of the Easter is one of the world's most well-known yet least visited archaeological sites, Easter Island is a small, hilly, now treeless island of volcanic origin. Located in the Pacific Ocean at 27 degrees south of the equator and some 2200 miles (3600 kilometers) off the coast of Chile. Sixty-three square miles in size and with three extinct volcanoes (the tallest rising to 1674 feet), the island is, technically speaking, a single massive volcano rising over ten thousand feet from the Pacific Ocean floor.

The oldest known traditional name of the island is Te Pito o Te Henua, meaning "The Center of the World". Over the centuries that followed a remarkable society developed in isolation on the island. For reasons still unknown they began carving giant statues out of volcanic rock. These monuments, known, as "moai" are some of the most incredible ancient relics ever discovered. The people of Easter Island called themselves the Rapa Nui. Where did they come from and why did they disappear? Science has learned much about the enigma of Easter Island and has put to rest some of the more bizarre theories, but questions and controversies remain.
