The famous Galapagos rock formation, Darwin’s Arch, has collapsed into the sea.
Images shared by the Ministry of Environment for Ecuador reveal that the arch has been reduced to just two rocky pillars, the top part having completely fallen away.
According to a statement from Ecuador’s environment ministry, the top fell away as ‘a consequence of natural erosion’.
As per this statement:
The collapse of Darwin’s Arch, the attractive natural bridge found less than a kilometre from the main area of Darwin Island, was reported.
Darwin’s Arch is made of natural stone that at one time would have been part of Darwin Island, which is not open to visits by land.
