It's one of the most remote inhabited islands in the world, far into the pacific, 2200 miles due west from the coast of Chile. Dutch explorers gave it its name after they spotted it on Easter Sunday in 1722. What they found has fascinated and confounded the world ever since, giant stone statues that tower over the island's landscape. They're called moai, and as we learned our first morning on Easter Island, there is nothing quite like them anywhere else in the world. When dawn breaks on Easter Island, it is the moai that first feel the sun. [/QUOTE]
