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

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.

Hi Ross, absolutely fantastic pictures! Looks like an amazing place! Shame we didn't include this island in our tour!
