Rapa Nui

With the fantastic native name of Rapa Nui, I don't know why anyone would call it Easter Island.
 Ahu Tongariki at Sunrise

Rano Raraku

Ranu Kao

 Most of the Moai and Ahu look like this now.

 Many of the moai never made it to their ahu and are left laying all over Rapa Nui.

Rano Raraku - the "Factory" or "Nursery" where the moai were carved.
