Poike, Ancient volcano in Easter Island, Chile
Poike stands at 370 meters above sea level as the second-highest point on Easter Island, forming its eastern headland with steep cliffs.
The volcano emerged through multiple eruptions approximately 2,400 years ago, making it the oldest of Easter Island's three main volcanic formations.
Archaeological discoveries near Poike reveal petroglyphs and artifacts that document the practices of early Rapa Nui inhabitants on Easter Island.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, where visitors can observe the geological formations and native plants during daylight hours.
The Poike ditch marks a clear geological boundary between this volcano's lava flows and those from neighboring Terevaka volcano.
