The rock structure of Galápagos arch archipelago has collapsed

Darwin arch, the iconic rock formation in the Pacific Ocean near the Galapagos Islands, has collapsed. The structure is famous for the pillars of jutting, squared, and entrances such as round tunnels, making it attract popular photography and tourist destinations for tourists. Officials believe arches collapse due to natural erosion.

Darwin’s arch is a naturally formed gate found in a sea of ​​several hundred miles from Ecuador Beach. Officials in this country have confirmed that the sliding collapses into the sea between the two pillars, which is much thicker and still stands. Collapse confirmed yesterday, May 17.

Gakar is located within a mile distance from Darwin Island; Both and rock formations were named after the famous scientist Charles Darwin. The Galapagos Islands played a big role in Darwin’s scientific studies and had an influence on the final theory of evolution.

Although the stone arch formed naturally vulnerable to finally collapsing from natural erosion, an uptick on tourists on the islands has raised concerns over potential damage to remote locations and various species living there.

However, the Galapagos Islands are not only under the threat of more tourists. Scientists have warned that this remote goal is also quite vulnerable to climate change, especially if El Nino’s events become more common. Changes in rainfall, sea temperature, and more can affect various ecosystems found on the islands, placing them at the risk of collapse.
