Pitcairn Island (area 47 square kilometers) and Mangareva (area 15.4 square kilometers) are closer, the former standing at a distance of 2,075 kilometers and the latter at a distance of 2,606 kilometers, but this is still too far for these tiny islands to have contributed to the sedimentation load received by Easter Island.
