There was a moai overlooking the crater here but the British folk took it, put it on a boat and put it on display in a British museum — in Britain.  Ah those brits.

There’s also a growing large crack on the side of the crater that’s threatening to drop the entire village of ‘Orongo into the ocean.

That’s some kind of living on the edge.
