Like many others, Cook suffered physically from the extreme weather and was seriously ill at the time the ship called at Rapa Nui (Easter Island)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Island known vaguely through the accounts of the Dutch sailor Jacob Roggeveen, who had visited fifty years earlier.. . . . . Cook’s visit to Rapa Nui was significant in the number of ways. This was the first time the famous moai, statues of deified ancestors, were described in detail, drawn, and painted. But, in the context of the cultural and linguistic connections that were becoming apparent, what was astoundingly from the European perspective was the sheer remoteness of Rapa Nui. The Dutch report had not made clear was immediately obvious to Cook and his companions.: the people they encountered there were closely related to the Society Islanders, Maori, Tongans, and other Polynesians. . . . .
