Rapa Nui: Colors Through Clouds of Mystery

1997
Sail away to Rapa Nui, one of the most isolated and mysterious places on Earth. Also known as Easter Island, it is renowned for its incredible statues, as well as other art forms such as petroglyphs (rock carvings), tattooing, string art, dance, and music. This site explores how this seemingly inexhaustible paradise became an ecological disaster, as well as how the massive statues were moved to their present locations. This excellent site is in English and Spanish.
