(FOX NEWS) – A devastating wildfire earlier this week caused "unmeasurable" damage to a number of Easter Island’s famous stone head statues.
"It's unquantifiable, unmeasurable, the damage there is, it's irrecoverable," said Pedro Edmunds, mayor of Easter Island, a territory of Chile located 2,000 miles from the coast. "Because what the fire does is heat the rock and the rock cracks."
Scientists will visit the island to assess the extent of the damage and determine what they can do to repair or salvage the statues damaged by the fire, but Edmunds said there may be no "solution."
