Rano Raraku, Easter Island
This view is from a slot on the vertical crater wall looking back down at the coast and Ahu Tongariki, in the center.  If you visit the South & Middle gallery, you will see the cliffs I am standing on from that viewpoint.

In the left photo, you can see a close-up of Ahu Tongariki from the slot in the cliff.  In the other two photos, I've highlighed the position of the slot in both an interior and an exterior shot.  There is a moai in the slot that was being carved.
