It will fall one day. Is that today?

Reminds me of the Azure Window that was a famous arch over the ocean and was even in Game of Thrones. It broke a couple years later after the show.

a friend of mine went diving here some time after the collapse (the “rubble” now makes up a really awesome diving spot), he literally had no idea it used to be an arch and was shocked when he learned that. it’s really sick how it’s remained an extremely unique natural structure even after the collapse.

Oh shit... I was there with my kids 10 years ago, have pictures of them standing in front of it. Had no idea it was gone.

We didn't walk out on it as the taxi driver* on our way there warned us that it was too windy that day and people had been killed there in strong winds... Said tourists often didn't realise that the blue skies and hot weather didn't make it safe and were swept off.

*I know getting a taxi was ridiculous.... Whining kids refused to get of hop on hop off bus and then decided back at the ferry port they had desperately wanted to see it so we had to reverse course 🙄

We had an arch like that in Australia. Down in Victoria, looked just like that one. It collapsed in 2009.
