Covering approximately 64 square miles, Easter Island is renowned for its extraordinary stone statues, known as Moai, numbering nearly 900, which were crafted by skilled artisans and engineers. These enigmatic sculptures remain unique in the realm of Polynesian culture. The purpose of these colossal figures and the techniques used to create and transport them continue to be subjects of speculation. This isolated island, the easternmost point of Polynesia, boasts a landscape adorned with these massive stone statues and other archaeological wonders.

New Lanark
New Lanark is a historic village located in Scotland, near the town of Lanark, UK. The village of New Lanark was established in the late 18th century by David Dale, a Scottish businessman and philanthropist. Dale was a partner of Richard Arkwright, the inventor of the water frame spinning machine, which revolutionized the textile industry. New Lanark became famous for its cotton mills, which were powered by the fast-flowing waters of the River Clyde. In 1786, Dale purchased the land and established the cotton mills, harnessing water power for the production of cotton thread and cloth. The village quickly grew around the mills as workers and their families settled there. The most significant period in New Lanark’s history is associated with Robert Owen, who became the manager of the mills in 1800. Owen was a social reformer and visionary who implemented progressive and groundbreaking ideas for the well-being of the workers and the community.
