Rano Raraku The Rano Raruku Volcano © Tiphaine Cariou
The crater of Rano Raraku volcano, in the east of the island, was the quarry from which the moai (statues) were sculpted. There are hundreds of these statues across the island and the largest carved statue has never left its place. Named the ?Giant', it measures 72 ft high and weighs 160 tons.
