Sea view from the slopes of volcano Terevaka, Rapa Nui Easter Island
The triangular-shaped Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is of volcanic origin and in fact constitutes one of the few emerged outcrops of the Sala y Gomez submarine ridge. The island is composed of three principal volcanoes and more than 70 subsidiary vents. The latest lava flows, at Hiva-Hiva near the W-central coast, are deemed to be less than 2000 years old.
