14. Rapa Nui
Easter Island, or Hanga Roa as it's called in the local indigenous language, is the most remote inhabited island on the planet. Carved from solid basalt between the 13th and 16th centuries, the group of more than 800 massive stone monuments known as moai that are scattered across the volcanic landscape are the legacy of a Polynesian society who settled here around 300 AD.
