Easter Island is one of the most mysterious places in the world. The island is located 2, 000 miles from Tahiti and the coast of Chile, the nearest inhabited places. The Easter Island is actually a giant igneous rock, made of lave that was spewed from some prehistoric volcano.
The Easter Island is best known for the Moai, huge stone monoliths that dot the island. The Western world discovered the island when Admiral Roggeveen landed here while exploring the Pacific.

The origin of the stone monoliths of the Easter Island is one of the enduring mysteries of the world.
