Rano Raraku, Easter Island
Looking back towards the highest part of the crater wall, you can see that the inside of the crater is filled with moai as well as the outside.

I've highlighted the moai I know about in this photo.  I am not sure about every outcropping or bump in the terrain, but I have individual photos of all the standing moai that are highlighted.  To the left, the cut-out areas I believe are either where moai were carved or were being carved when that activity stopped.  I did not notice it at the time I took the photo- as I hiked closer to it, it wasn't readily apparent.  I wish now that I had hiked just a little further.
