Easter Island (Rapa Nui in native language) is located in the Chilean Polynesia, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. It has an area of approximately 163.6 km2 (1.016 miles), which makes it the largest island in insular Chile. The island has an estimated population of 5.000 inhabitants, concentrated in Hanga Roa, its main village and capital. There is no other inhabited place in the world such as Easter Island. Its unique location gives it authenticity and an aura of fascinating mystery. The island is one of the main attractions of Chile, its natural beauty, beaches, landscapes and volcanoes, ideal to know through excursions, horseback riding, hiking, bird watching, diving and photography.

No, that country has so very much more! And certainly it has a rich and beautiful flora. Chile’s plant world is strongly diversified and shows inter- esting geographical and evolutionary patterns. This is due to several factors: The geographical position of the country on the edge of a continental plate and stretch- ing along an extremely long latitudinal gradient from the tropics to the cold, barren rocks of Cape Horn, opposite Antarctica; the strong differences in altitude from sea level to the icy peaks of the Andes; the inclusion of distant islands in the country’s territory; the long geological and evolutionary history of the biota; and the mixture of tropical and temperate floras.

HIXON University of California at Santa Barbara ROBERT J. DiNAPOLI University of Oregon CARL P. LIPO Binghamton University TERRY L. HUNT University of Arizona ABSTRACT: Sources of drinking water on islands often present critical constraints to human habitation. On Rapa Nui (Easter Island, Chile), there is remarkably little surface fresh water due to the nature of the island’s volcanic geology. While several lakes exist in volcanic craters, Most rainwater quickly passes into the subsurface and eMerges at coastal springs. Nevertheless, the island sustained a relatively large huMan population for hundreds of years, one that built an impressive array of monumental platforms (ahu) and statues (moai). To understand how Rapanui acquired their scarce fresh water, we review ethnohistoric data from frst European arrival (1722) through the Mid-twentieth century. Ethnohistoric accounts identify a diversity of freshwater sources and describe various Rapanui freshwater management strategies. Our fndings highlight the importance of coastal freshwater seeps and provide much-needed insight into how Rapanui procured this vital and necessary resource.
