The Easter Island Challenge!

Where: Southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeasternmost point of the Polynesian Triangle, in Chile.
What: An island known for their outstanding stone carved heads known as "Moái's"

Interesting facts:

The first human inhabitants of Rapa Nui (the Polynesian name for Easter Island; its Spanish name is Isla de Pascua) are believed to have arrived in an organized party of emigrants around 300-400 A.D.
The greatest evidence for the rich culture developed by the original settlers of Rapa Nui and their descendants is the existence of nearly 900 giant stone statues that have been found in diverse locations around the island.
Averaging 13 feet (4 meters) high, with a weight of 13 tons, these enormous stone busts–known as moai–were carved out of tuff (the light, porous rock formed by consolidated volcanic ash) and placed atop ceremonial stone platforms called ahus.
The biggest statue found dating to the middle period measures about 32 feet tall, and consists of a single block weighing about 82 tons (74,500 kilograms).
Easter Island is very far away. Its closest inhabited neighbour is Pitcairn, 2,000km (1,200mi) to the west while the nearest continental land lies in Chile at a distance of 3,700km (2,300mi). If we are traveling on a boat at 28 MPH from both areas, we'd reach the island in around 2 or 4 days respectively!
The huge statues have been moved before! For 18 KM's, across the island without the use of wheels, cranes or large animals. It's still unknown the method used for such a feat, though.
A Finnish tourist once stole a moai ear. Named himself Marko Kulju, had to issue a public apology through a Chilean newspaper shortly after his capture and had to pay the fine of 17,000 USD. He got off easily as he would have faced seven years in prison!

GOOD LUCK on the challenge! Create for us some breath-taking masterpieces of Easter Island for some awesome GA wins!
