They are so unusual that it simply cannot be conveyed in words. The statues themselves were made in the interior of the island, but how they ended up on the beach is still a mystery to scientists. Three hundred statues standing at the foot of the volcano, motionless, sometimes even frighten. Despite this, they are a very popular attraction.
