Back from Easter Island

We are back!

Thanks to Miguel Blanco for getting together a group of real travelers, with whom we had the pleasure of sharing our adventures in the most isolated and amazing place on Earth. As we saw, it’s better to travel in good company.

Some of the routes we walk across the island

We’ll be uploading some pictures of this last expedition to Rapa Nui. For starters, here we have a satellite image of the island with some of the routes we have walked under the sun… or the storm.

Temple of Isis (Philae)

The Sancta Sanctorum of the temple

Built in the age of pharaoh Nectanebo, founder of the XXX Dynasty, last of the authentic egyptian dynasties, the actual temple of Isis is not in it’s original place. When the massive Aswan Dam was built, the temple would have been submerged, so it was moved to it’s actual location with UNESCO’s sponsorship.

The geography of Agilkia Island was completely modified, to make it look exactly like Philae, where the temple complex was originally standing.

This is the personal web site of Yvan Figueiras-Ruiz, writer –winner of the I and the VII International Prizes of Historical Divulgation Juan Antonio Cebrián, commercial diver, sonar technician in submarines, photographer and graphic designer, as well as being a collaborator of the Radio Nacional de España program Espacio en Blanco and a member of the remembered radio show Dimensión Límite or Ángulo 13.

The site is created as a photo portfolio, with special emphasis on pictures os my voyages, like the Pacific Ocean crossing that the crew of the  SV White Pigeon managed to accomplish in 2018, Easter Island, Cape Horn, Namibia, the Middle East o any other place on Earth that I’ve had the pleasure to travel to.

In the section dedicated to my literary work there a some synopsis of the books I’ve had published: Los Enigmas de la Isla de Pascua, R.M.S. TitanicJack el Destripador: caso abierto and the recent Enigmas y Misterios de la Mar. I don’t want to forget to mention one of my hobbies: home robotics.

In the blog there are also links to my participation in several media, specially radio and the videos that i upload to my YouTube channel.

We are working in a series of photography tutorials to show our visitors some of the least know techniques: freezing the explosion of a balloon, turning water into smoke… even catching the Milky Way o projecting an image INSIDE a water drop.

If you need help in the creation o maintenance of your web page, you can write to us in the contact section.

Thanks for visiting our site. We hope that the continuous renovations aren’t too annoying.
