A famous rock formation off the Galapagos Islands known as Darwin's Arch has collapsed due to erosion, the Ecuadoran Ministry of Environment says.
It said the collapse was a "consequence of natural erosion". Images distributed by officials show only the two stone supporting columns remain. The formation, considered a premier diving location, is found in the northern part of the archipelago.
It was named after the famous English biologist Charles Darwin, whose study of the Galapagos Islands in the 19th century helped inspire his theory of evolution.
