Famed Rock Formation in Galapagos Islands Collapses

Posted on 05/22/2021 3:21:26 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

A famous rock structure in the Galapagos Islands collapsed on Monday.

Two rocky pillars are all that’s left of Darwin’s Arch, about 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador.

“This event is a consequence of natural erosion,” Ecuador’s environmental ministry tweeted.

“Darwin’s Arch is made of natural stone that at one time would have been part of Darwin Island, which is not open to on-land visits. This site is considered one of the best places on the planet to scuba dive and observe schools of sharks and other species.”

Crap, it just collapsed a few days ago.

I detect a sinister pattern.

Trump had supporters plant 12 nukes at the capitol on January 6 and he planted the last, the 13th nuke on the arch to kill baby transgender seals.

Heaven forbid we have an article that posts different information or pictures than a previous one. At least it gives you, a moderator except in name, an opportunity to gripe again about a poster.

When did I "gripe" about the poster before?

Are you lying? Making stuff up?

You have blogger skills.
