EASTER ISLAND PHOTO GALLERY...
A Journey Through
The Fantastic Moais Of Rapa Nui

©Daniel Moore

Easter Island Photo Gallery is made of personal experiences throughout four magic weeks we've spent spent years ago in this spectacular little island lost in the South Pacific.
Rapa Nui or Te Pito O Te Henua - the navel of the world - is the most isolated inhabited island in the world, some 3,600 km to the west of Chile.

What makes Rapa Nui or Easter Island so unique doesn't come from its remoteness and isolation, even though it may have contributed to it, but the mysterious and fascinating stone figures carved out of volcanic ash by the Rapa Nui culture many, many centuries ago.

The following images will introduce you to this incredible open-air archaeological museum as well as to some frozen moments in the life of its inhabitants.

Please Note:
The name Rapa Nui is used alternatively to refer to the island, its people and its language.

However, this photo-reportage is far from being complete or exhaustive, as many images were unfortunately lost in many travels or damaged beyond repair.
Some others never came back from magazine's publications - we've learned the hard way not to send originals again.

If so you're more than welcome to submit your favorite pictures and help us to grow the Easter Island Photo Gallery bigger and better for all of us to enjoy...

Our stories, pictures and experiences are of not use if bound to collect dust in some hidden corner of the bottom drawer of our minds.
Share with the world the story that made your journey to Easter Island a memorable and unforgettable travel experience...

Thanks a lot!....your contribution is much appreciated!...

Let's have a look now at the Easter Island Photo Gallery and we'll meet again at the end of it.
