Easter Island blaze chars famous moai head statues  | Daily Mail Online
A forest fire that tore through part of Easter Island has charred some of its fabled monumental carved stone figures, known as moai, authorities said Thursday.
'Nearly 60 hectares (148 acres) were affected, including some moai,' Carolina Perez, cultural heritage undersecretary, said in a Twitter post.
On Easter Island, which lies some 3,500 kilometers (2,175 miles) off the west coast of Chile, 100 hectares have been razed by flames since Monday, Perez said. The area around the Rano Raraku volcano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was the most affected.
An estimated several hundred moai are in that area, as well as in the quarry where the stone used to carve the sculptures is extracted.

'The damage caused by the fire can't be undone,' Pedro Edmunds, mayor of Easter Island, told local media.
There is still no report on the total damage.
But the fire comes just three months after the island was reopened to tourism on August 5, after two years of closure due to Covid-19.
Before the pandemic, Easter Island - whose main livelihood is tourism - received some 160,000 visitors a year, on two daily flights.
The island is also, less commonly, accessible by boat. 
With the arrival of Covid-19 in Chile, tourist activity was completely suspended.
The island was long inhabited by Polynesian people, before Chile annexed it in 1888. 
The first European visitors arrived on Easter Sunday 1722, giving it its English language name.
The island's official Spanish name is Isla de Pascua - literally 'Easter Island'.
Local Polynesians call the island 'Rapa Nui', 'Big Rapa', referring to the resemblance to Rapa Island in the Bass Islands. 
The famous head statues were carved centuries earlier by the Rapa Nui people in honour of fallen leaders and moved by hand around the island by small groups.
The island remains one of the world's most isolated inhabited islands, 1,150 miles (1,850 km) from the Juan Fernandez Islands.
Easter Island is today home to approximately 7,750 people. 
In 2020, a Chilean man was arrested after crashing his truck into one of the sacred Easter Island heads, leading to vehicle restrictions on the island.
The destruction of one spurred Mayor Pedro Edmund Paoa into action, advocating stricter traffic controls on Easter Island.
El Mercurio reported that the mayor had previously called for better controls as the island faces rising population levels and rates of tourism.
Where did the moai come from? 
While there is no consensus on when Easter Island was first inhabited, it is thought Polynesians settled the island around the 12th century.
The 887 known statues, measuring up to 32ft (10m) tall, were carved by the Rapa Nui people between 1450 and 1650 AD from local stone.
The heads may be the most famous parts, but all the statues also have bodies.
95% of the figures were carved from compressed volcanic ash found on the side of the extinct Rano Raraku volcano.
The native islanders carved the statues by hand and moved them around the island by tying ropes around them and rocking them into place. 
The statues were built to honour chieftain or other important people who had died. 
They were placed on rectangular tombs for the people they represented.

there’s always another girl.
the connection was something—it was real.
but you just broke my heart.
you hurt me so bad this time.
you were different so it hurts differently.
it hurts like a mf.
what else do i need to tell you?
are you happy?
i knew this would happen.
but not in this way, not with this girl who i know a great deal about.
did you almost expect this to happen?
i be remembering that there’s always another girl.
this is what keeps me overthinking, but it's no longer overthinking because it's true—there's another girl.
