Easter Island's Greater Isolation

People often remember Easter Island as being even more remote and isolated in the Pacific Ocean, or positioned differently relative to South America, than its actual location.

What People Remember

Many recall Easter Island as an unbelievably distant speck in the Pacific, perhaps further west or south than it really is.

What's Actually True

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is indeed one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world, but its position relative to Chile and other Pacific islands is consistent.
