Vulkane auf der Osterinsel

Volcanoes of Easter Island

Easter Island's landscape was shaped by three primary extinct volcanoes: Terevaka, Rano Kau, and Poike. This collection includes these massive geological formations alongside Rano Raraku, the volcanic ash quarry where the island’s iconic moai statues were carved. The sites offer diverse features, from the deep freshwater crater lake of Rano Kau to the island's highest elevation at Terevaka. The list also highlights volcanic caves and petroglyphs associated with the Tangata manu cult.
