Galapagos rock formation Darwin's Arch has collapsed

(CNN) — One of the most famous rock formations in the Galapagos Islands has collapsed into the sea.

The top of Darwin's Arch, located in the northern part of the archipelago, fell as "a consequence of natural erosion," according to the Ministry of Environment for Ecuador.

Images of the structure, which now consists of just two pillars, were posted on the social media accounts for the ministry on Monday alongside a statement confirming the news.

Well shows the progress of time. 

Mother Earth and the world just moves on.

The galapagos islands are probably one of the most famous places that 99.999% have never visited. At least famous to people who have heard of charles darwin.

I only heard of the Galapagos Island and it's tortoises.... haven't heard of the rock. 

 

Still can "hear" Sir Richard Attenborough voice over.....

Don't worry - just send the old photos to China. They will fabricate and install the replacement within 3 months.

Darwin's own theory of evolution, I suppose.

The structure patterns of the pillars, surrounding and background are different...

🙄🙄🙄
That's the official line.

Might be that Godzilla had swam passed there and dislodged the arch!

Now they can go build a bridge across as tourist attraction and collect $ 😂
