A visitor is dwarfed by one of the 887 monumental statues (moai) created by the early Rapa Nui Polynesian people on remote Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean. The giant stone figures decorate this ancient volcanic island that is now a territory of Chile and located 2,300 miles (3,700 kilometers) west of South America. The towering primitive sculptures are scattered throughout a large Chilean national park that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
