- Photo title: Rano Raraku Partially Buried Moais, Easter Island
- Author: Cegocentrico
- Cover photo description:
- Rano Raraku is a volcanic crater formed of consolidated volcanic ash, or tuff, and located on the lower slopes of Terevaka in the Rapa Nui National Park on Easter Island in Chile. It was a quarry for about 500 years until the early eighteenth century, and supplied the stone from which about 95% of the island`s known monolithic sculptures moai were carved. On the outside of the quarry are a number of moai, some of which are partially buried to their shoulders in the spoil from the quarry. They are distinctive in that their eyes were not hollowed out, they do not have pukao and they were not cast down in the island`s civil wars. For this last reason, they supplied some of the most famous images of the island.
