The quarry in Rano Raraku is located at the base of a volcanic crater, and supplied the stone for about 95 percent of the island’s moai. It still holds 397 of the statues, in fact, as only a quarter were ever installed in different places around the island and nearly half of all moai ever carved remain in the quarry to this day. The quarry was operational for about 500 years – until the 18th century – and any visitors wandering around receive a sort of crash course in the moai’s evolution.
