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.
