Standing heads
Two tourists walk in front of ``Moai'' statues, near the town of Hanga Roa on Easter Island, 4,000 km west of Santiago, Chile. Easter Island's mysterious ``Moai,'' giant head statues carved out of volcanic rock, are in danger of being destroyed by years of tropical rains and wind as well as careless humans and farm animals. Experts have called on the international community to commit funds to preserve the monoliths, whose mystery draws tourists to the world's most remote inhabited island.
