Nestled in the South Pacific Ocean, some 6,000 people live on the most isolated, inhabited island in the world: Rapa Nui. And every year, some 100,000 people visit the remote island to see the famed 13-foot-tall moai statues or Easter Island heads. To combat overtourism to the small island, only a limited number of flights travel to Rapa Nui each week. It also lets viewers explore the Rano Raraku quarry, which is located in a steep volcanic crater that visitors to the island can’t explore due to safety concerns.
