  Guano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ideal type of guano is found where there is little rainfall and exceptionally dry climates, as the rainwater drains the guano of nitrates.
Guano is harvested on various islands in the Pacific Ocean (for example the Chincha Islands and Nauru) and in other oceans (for example Juan de Nova Island).
These islands have been home to mass seabird colonies for many centuries, and the guano has collected to a depth of many metres.

 Easter Island - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
In the atlas illustrating the voyage of La Perouse a plan of the island is given, with the position of several of the platforms.
The only ancient implement discovered on the island is a kind of stone chisel, but it seems impossible that such large and numerous works could have been executed with such a tool.
The present inhabitants of Easter Island know nothing of the construction of these remarkable works; and the entire subject of their existence in this small and remote island is a mystery.
