A new moai statue has been discovered on the remote inhabited volcanic Easter Island situated in Polynesia.

A new moai has been discovered on the remote inhabited volcanic Easter Island situated in Polynesia.

"For the Rapa Nui people, it's [a] very, very important discovery," Hito told"Good Morning America" through a translator at the site."Because it's here in the lake and nobody knows this exists -- even the ancestors, our grandparents don't know [about] that one."There are nearly 1,000 moai on Easter Island made from volcanic tuff, according to Dr.

"We think we know all the moai, but then a new one turns up, a new discovery, and in this case, in the lake, at the statue quarry," he said."There have been no moai found in the dry bed or in what was previously a lake, so this is a first."
