| Rano Raraku is a volcanic crater formed of consolidated volcanic ash, or lapilli tuff, and located on the lower slopes of Terevaka in the Rapa Nui National Park on Easter Island in Chile. Rano Raraku was a quarry for about 500 years until the early eighteenth century, and supplied the stone from which about 95% of the island`s known monolithic sculptures moai were carved. Rano Raraku is a visual record of moai design vocabulary and technological innovation, where 397 moai remain. Rano Raraku is in the World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park and gives its name to one of the seven sections of the park; it is one of its main archeologic locations. |
