Easter island landscape with moais in Rano Raraku
Rano Raraku was a quarry for about 500 years until the early eighteenth century, and supplied the stone from which about 95% of the islands known monolithic sculptures (moai) were carved. Rano Raraku is a visual record of moai design vocabulary and technological innovation, where 397 moai remain. Rano Raraku is in the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park and gives its name to one of the seven sections of the park

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing landscape of Easter Island, specifically Rano Raraku. Once a bustling quarry for over five centuries until the early 18th century, this site holds immense historical significance as it provided the stone used to carve approximately 95% of the island's renowned monolithic sculptures known as moai. Rano Raraku stands as a testament to both artistic expression and technological innovation, showcasing an astonishing collection of 397 moai that have withstood the test of time. Located within the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park, this section bears its name and offers a visual record of ancient moai design vocabulary. The image portrays tranquility and serenity against a backdrop painted by nature itself. The vast expanse of grass stretches towards the horizon under a clear blue sky, emphasizing the grandeur and magnitude of these colossal statues. With no people in sight, one can truly appreciate their imposing presence amidst such untouched beauty. As an international landmark recognized by UNESCO, Easter Island continues to captivate visitors from around the world with its enigmatic history and cultural heritage. This photograph taken by Volanthevist beautifully encapsulates not only an ancient civilization but also highlights our connection to human representation throughout time. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern era, we are still awestruck by these remnants from ages past.
