 ==== General Information  ====
-Easter Island (or Rapa Nui) is the southeast corner of the [[Image:Pacific Map.png|Polynesian Island triangle]], but administered by [[Portal:Chile|Chile]]. The island lies 2500 miles west of the ''South American ''coast, and 2000 miles east of ''Tahiti'' in the other direction. It is 66 square miles in area. It is not tropical, and has no rivers. It has large deposits of ''lapilli tuff,'' from which the early inhabitants made over 800 giant statues (called ''Moa''i) that look out to the sea.
