Since NatGeo calls it Shipton's lost arch, I wanna know how you can lose something that big.

It's easy if you didn't notice where you were when you first found it!

I read a book a couple of years ago called "The Arch of Kerguelen". The Kerguelen Island and archipelago is one of the last large, largely unexplored areas of the world. There author had learned of stories by explorers of a famous big sea arch in one of the island's far-flung regions. The book is about the author's attempt to find the arch and also a description of an very wild land and its discoverer (who had a tough life).

I recommend reading the book. But if you can't wait until the ending, go here and look at picture 47:
