Rano-Kau volcano
Chile, Easter Island, Rano Kau
Description:
Easter Island is the most remote and mysterious island on Earth. The island is believed to be of volcanic origin. The soil here was formed as a result of the erosion of the slopes of numerous volcanoes, each of which is special in its own way.
Rano Kau is the only active thyroid volcano on the island. The shape of the volcano is similar to a gentle shield with a large crater, where there are 7 lakes. He was active for 300 years and fell asleep in late 1911.
Tours are currently being held at the top of the volcano. You can get there on foot (about two hours) or resort to taxi services. If desired, the Rano Kau volcano can be bypassed along the crest of the crater around, but most tourists are content with simply climbing to the crater and walking through the ceremonial village of Orongo.
