Easter Island is also known as Rapa Nui. It was named "Easter Island" when the Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen discovered it on Easter Sunday, 1722.
It's also one of the world's most isolated inhabited islands, about 3600 km west of Chile.
It is probably most famous for the "stone heads," or moai.

FOR THE GIGANTIC STONE STATUES AND THE FACT THAT THEIR POPULATION AT ONE TIME WAS VERY MUCH LARGER THAN TODAY AND OVERUSE OF NATURAL RESOURCES CAUSED A ISLAND WIDE FAMINE WHICH WIPED OUT MOST IF NOT ALL THE POPULATION.
