 "past": {"account": "The past. The Easter plate is all deep ocean, nowhere shallower than about 1,000 metres, so when the ice age sea stood about 130 metres lower none of it became land, and the winter sea ice stayed more than 3,000 kilometres to the south. A global reconstruction puts the sea surface here about 4 degrees colder at the glacial peak, near 19 degrees, warming mostly between about 15,800 and 6,800 years ago. Easter Island itself lies 326 kilometres to the east, on the Nazca plate.", "source": "Lambeck et al. 2014, PNAS 111:15296; Lhardy et al. 2021, Climate of the Past 17:1139; Osman et al. 2021, Nature 599:239"},
