The Rano Kau is the largest volcanic crater and the most amazing natural wonder that can be seen on Rapa Nui. Its spectacular eruption, about two and a half million years, was one of three that gave rise to the island. Its crater is more than a kilometer in diameter and forms a spectacular natural amphitheater that’s about 200 meters deep and frames a large freshwater lake, which was once one of the main sources of fresh water for the Rapa Nui people.
Located in Rapa Nui National Park, Easter Island, the Rano Kau Crater is an extinct volcano created around 2.5 million years ago. Its freshwater lake—the island's largest—was a main source of water for ancient Orongo villagers. The crater is not as interesting as the giant Moai statues, but I was fascinated with the caldera’s numerous floating islands of totora reeds.
The lake’s surface is covered by cattail plants, which are interestingly in the same species as the ones found in the floating islands of Lake Titicaca in Peru. This made Thor Heyerdahl and other researchers insist on their theories about the possible contacts and migrations of South American cultures to Easter Island.
Le Rano Kau est un volcan du Chili situé à la pointe Sud-Ouest de l'île de Pâques. Il est composé d'un cratère au fond plat recouvert de nombreux petits lacs et abrite le site pascuan d'Orongo au sommet des falaises.

Rano Kau is a 324 m (1,063 ft) tall extinct volcano that forms the southwestern headland of Easter Island. The crater is almost a mile across and has its own micro climate. Sheltered from the winds that wet most of the rest of the island, figs and vines flourish at Rano Kau.

Uno de los lugares mas importantes para visitar y donde se puede apreciar uno de los mejores paisajes de la isla es el cráter del volcán Rano Kau. Además, es el lugar donde los nativos solían vivir en villas llamado Villa Orongo.

Welcome to Sabah... sabah boleh bah kalau kau :D
Thanks for visit
Outra visão do vulcão Rano Kau. Neste local venta muito, esteja preparado. Mas é uma atração da ilha que não pode ser dispensada. O lago formado na cratera é um reservatório de água, e o seu acesso é vedado a quem não é da ilha.
Whenever visiting to Hong Kong, I will play golf here Kau Sai Chau (KSC 滘西洲). This time, I come with my best friend who is the first time here to play golf, let's see who score well。
From the hustle and bustle of New York City's Time Square to the quiet solitude of Rano Kau on Easter Island. This 12-shot vertical pano provides the expansive view of the crater on the southwest corner of the island.
Thanks for looking!

"Rano Kau is a 324 m (1,063 ft) tall extinct volcano that forms the southwestern headland of Easter Island, a Chilean island in the Pacific Ocean. It was formed of basaltic lava flows in the Pleistocene with its youngest rocks dated at between 150,000 and 210,000 years ago." wiki

Este é o vulcão Rano Kau, o vulcão de mais fácil acesso da ilha. Ele se situa no parque de Orongo, e pode ser acessado por estrada ou trilha. Parte de seu acesso se dá por dentro do Parque de Orongo, e o acesso a este parque depende de ingresso (na ilha de Páscoa apenas Orongo e o vulcão Rano Raraku exigem ingresso, todas as demais atrações são gratuitas. E o ingresso é o mesmo para estas duas atrações. Se for comprado no aeroporto, há um pequeno desconto).

This is an infrared panoramic of the largest of the three extinct volcanoes that formed the island around 200,000 years ago. You can see Poike volcano above the rim in the back. This rim is 1.063' tall and a mile wide. The freshwater lake is 330' about sea level. The little stone round house at the edge is one of 54 cerimonial houses perched on the edge of the crater and a 1,000' straight cliff. Notice the lake has many "floating islands" which are 3' deep known as totora's and are unstable. Joni and I hiked around this crater to the other edge where there isn't a road. Deceptively far away.
Whilst out doing Morning Drive in HK I am often able to capture early morning light, here is the sunrising over Ting Kau Bridge is the world's first major 4-span cable-stayed bridge.
