Captain Cook’s achievements were immense. He had made two journeys across the Pacific establishing sailing routes to Australia and New Zealand. Cook also established relationships with the Polynesians.
The Polynesian islands were discovered and settled by seafaring people, who came from a group of islands off the coast of New Guinea. These daring explorers crossed the Pacific Ocean in simple, double-hulled canoes called “outriggers.”

On Easter Sunday, Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen discovered a Polynesian Island, one thousand and four hundred miles from the coast of South America and named it Easter Island. He noted that the island was treeless and wondered how its massive statues were erected. 

Easter Island’s famous features are its enormous stone statues called Moai, at least 288, which once stood upon massive stone platforms called Ahu.
