P202 - Chile - Anakena in Easter Island


Rapa Nui, Chile




Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is a Polynesian island in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, at the southeastern most point of the Polynesian triangle. The island is a special territory of Chile. Easter Island is famous for its monumental statues, called moai , created by the Rapanui people. It is a world heritage site with much of the island protected within the Rapa Nui National Park.

Anakena is a white coral sand beach in Rapa Nui National Park on Rapa Nui (Easter Island), a Chilean island in the Pacific Ocean. Anakena has two ahus, one with a single moai and the other with six. It also has a palm grove and a car park.


复活节岛(西班牙语:Isla de Pascua),或根据当地的语言称拉帕努伊岛(Rapa Nui),是南太平洋中的一个岛屿,位于智利以西外海约3600到3700公里处,坐标为南纬27度09分,西经109度27分,约与智利港口卡尔德拉在同一纬度,较圣地亚哥偏北。复活节岛是世界上最与世隔绝的岛屿之一,离其最近有人定居的皮特开恩群岛也有2,075公里距离。该岛形状近似呈一三角形,由三座火山组成,面积117平方公里。

1722年的一个星期日,荷兰东印度公司的海军将领雅可布·洛加文率领的一支舰队首次发现了这个位于南太平洋中的这个小岛。洛加文在航海图上用墨笔记下了这个此岛的位置,由于发现该岛这一天正好是基督教的复活节,他在旁边记下“复活节岛”,从此“复活节岛”之名为世人所知。1774年,英国探险家詹姆斯·库克船长再次找到该岛。1914年开始对复活节岛进行相关的考察和研究活动。但是当今的人类学界多根据当地的语言称此岛为拉帕努伊岛(Rapa Nui),这是1860年代来自大溪地的波利尼西亚劳工对它的称呼。

复活节岛以其分布在海滨沿线为数众多的巨型石刻摩艾石像而闻名于世,1995年,拉帕努伊国家公园(即复活节岛)被联合国教科文组织列入世界遗产。

Anakena海灘位於復活節島北側,在這裡,被樹陰覆蓋的寬廣沙灘就像孩子們手中的棉花糖一般綿軟潔白,在蔥郁的椰林後面,Anakena海灘悄然延展開了一副讓人心曠神怡的彩色畫卷:潔白細膩的沙灘,翠綠的棕櫚樹和碧綠的海水使它成為了太平洋上的一顆耀眼的珍珠。
