The collapse of the top of the arch, known as the Darwin Arch, was reported on Monday, the ministry tweeted. The arch stood less than one kilometer from the island of Darwin the northernmost island in the Galapagos. Darwin s Arch is made of natural stone that at one time would have been part of Darwin Island, which is not open to visits by land, the ministry tweeted on Monday. The site is considered one of the best places on the planet to dive and observe schools of sharks and other species.
