I hate when this happens

 

Sea arches are one of the coolest combinations of erosion, geology, and ocean coastal dynamics in the world.

Unfortunately, because of erosion, they are not permanent.  I can think of the collapses of the Arch of Kerguelen, the Malta "Azure Window", and the Aruba natural bridge (the last two were relatively recent). 

Now, the Darwin Arch in the Galapagos Islands has joined the ranks of the fallen.

The article has both before and after pictures.  Let's remember it before.
