Easter Island , also known as Rapa Nui , is one of the Earth 's most isolated inhabited islands.
The island has hundreds of massive moai, monolithic statues carved from volcanic rocks.
The oldest moai dates back to 1300 .
Chile annexed the island in 1888 , using the land to raise sheep, and in 1965 made it a special territory.
Easter Island experienced a renaissance during the first few years of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The pandemic hit at a critical time, when more than 100,000 visitors were making the trek to Rapa Nui National Park .
Officials canceled flights in and out of the island, which kept the virus offshore, along with food and supplies.
