-27.122°,-109.275° Easter Island, Ahu Tongariki


Happy Easter (Island) wishes from Ahu Tongariki and Anneli Johnsson.

Ecological devastation is said to have been the demise of the population of this island.
Theories of sudden climate changes and accute deforestation are debated but still the fate of the inhabitants who made these colossal stone artifacts remains shrouded in mystery.
