Goodbye, Darwin’s Arch! Hello, Pillars of Evolution!

On May 17, a natural arch located over half a mile off the coast of Darwin’s Island in the Galapagos Islands had its top removed as “a consequence of natural erosion.” The said natural arch was none other than Darwin’s Arch, named after the English biologist. The arch was a favorite subject of photographers, and a popular landmark for cruise ships. Hopefully, even if the arch is now “topless”, it is still something to look forward to by both groups.

… one tour company, Aggressor Adventures, is calling the two stone monoliths that remain "The Pillars of Evolution," CNN reported.

That, and whale sharks, and other aquatic animals, still thrive on the waters around the now called pillars.
