The famed Darwin's Arch in the Galapagos Islands has lost its top and officials are blaming natural erosion of the stone. It's a popular spot for scuba divers.

The rock structure is 43 meters high, 70 meters long and 23 meters wide. Now, It is less than 1 kilometer from Darwin Island.  From a scientific point of view, it's part of the natural process. The fall is surely due to exogenous processes such as weathering and erosion which are things that normally happen on the planet.
