Everyone knows the huge stone heads ('moai') of the fascinating Easter Island, located in an isolated region in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. What they don't know, is that the stones used for the construction of those stunning monuments were taken from round craters of more than 500 meters (1500 feet) in diameter carved in the center of Rano Raraku and Rano Kao mounts.
Exactly, those are mounts, there are none, and there have never been volcanoes on Easter Island.
Firstly, volcanic soil is sterile, because it doesn't contain the humus needed for the nutrition of the plants, nevertheless, the whole island has vegetation, even a forest, as the following satellite image shows:
Satellite view of Easter Island.
The fact is that there is not even a single piece of evidence that there has ever been volcanic activity on the island.
Moai on Easter Island.
Look at how desolate the scenery in areas formed by volcanic activity is:
Volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccíhuatl, in Mexico.
In the picture above of the mexican volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccíhuatl, we can see the deep and ample channels that formed on the soil, caused by the movement of the super heated mass that had flown during the eruption, elements that we don't have on Easter Island.
How could those volcanoes have arisen from the depths of the ocean and made an island? This question must surely baffle the geologists that made up that story about volcanoes. I won't get into details regarding the obvious stumbling blocks, about how such volcanos had to be active at the same time, releasing an amount of lava at an equivalent rate in order to have a certain stability of growth, until all this volume of mass would somehow accumulate, solidify and reach a level above the waters.
And if it really happened, it is likely that the volcanoes would be found in the highest spot, surrounded by all the condensed lava.
See the case for Mount Fuji, on Honshu island. The volcano is the highest spot in Japan, at an altitude of 3,7 km (12,388 ft):
Mount Fuji, Japan's highest mountain.
The Popocatepetl is the second highest peak in Mexico, at an altitude of 5,4 km (17,802 ft).
Strangely, the supposed volcanoes of Easter Island are on low parts.
Topographical map of Easter Island.
Analyzing the topography of the area, we can perceive that the central part of the island has the highest altitude. Cerro Terevaka, the highest spot, stands at 507 m (1500 feet) high, on the other hand, the highest 'volcano', Puakatike, stands more than 130 m (390 feet) below, how is this possible? Would have all the lava converged to a central point and flown upwards?
It is a good idea to explore the island through this website that displays satellite images:

Now check out something extremely interesting, this one above is Wolfe Creek, one of the so called 'meteor impact crater', and is on the west side of Australia. Beneath is Rano Raraku 'volcano', on Easter Island:
Comparison between the craters Wolfe Creek and Rano Raraku.
Both craters exhibit a triangular mark on the border and an internal concentration. One they say is the impact of a meteor, the other, due to it being on a small island, they say is a volcano. In fact, they are neither one thing nor the other.
Did you know that the material that the researchers claim to have found at the 'impact craters' and that could be of an external origin, like the Iridium, is actually found worldwide, underground, as a remnant of an era when the planet Earth passed through a cloud of dust? The melted rocks, are actually igneous formations, solidified magma in the subsoil. These 2 evidences are consistent with a process of extraction of the soil revealing inferior layers.
Another intriguing factor, is that in the Gulf of Mexico, next to the place of the supposed impact which theoretically caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, the Iridium is found at low concentrations, now far away, in Denmark, higher concentrations are found, which indicates that this material is not related to a meteor impact.
There are more very relevant clues that there really was no impact, such as the geological distance between the formation of the crater and the layer where the material was found, with intermediaries of organic origin. This means that after the formation of the crater there was no tragedy, organisms continued to inhabit the place and only much later appeared the layer of cosmic dust.

Any resemblance is not a mere coincidence.
