    Vacation Trip To Easter Island....

    Okay-----Easter Island is even more remote than IWAH. Clear out in the middle O' nowhere. But yeah---there's these enormous stone statues, to see. Maybe you can even take a photo of yourself standing next to one! See---the early residents were shipwrecked there, and had little to do, but carve statues, hoping a passing ship would notice & come by and rescue them. Yup. So--They might even have some yummy FOOD at the local rest-o-rants. Give 'er a try! What have you got to lose, except time, money, or your life if the plane crashes? Hope that helps you some.2023-01-12 (3).jpg2022-07-22 (8).jpg

    I think you are thinking of Pitcairn Island, which was settled by the mutinous Bounty crew in 1790, after they burned their ship. (The previous Polynesian settlers occupied the islands for ~400 years or so, starting in the 11th Century, and then became extinct/abandoned the settlement due to trade war.)

    Easter Island was settled earlier, during a period of Polynesian expansion, and not by people who were shipwrecked - they brought all of the tools and technologies to establish their culture. For a while....

    I would not recommend visiting Pitcairn Island - the people are horrid. Their language is sort of cool though!
