Landscape view of Darwin s Arch near Darwin Island of Galapagos
The iconic rock formation in Galapagos Islands known as Darwin s Arch collapsed on Monday (May 17) morning. The massive 141 feet high, 230 feet long, and 75 feet wide sits about a half-mile off the coast of Darwin Island, which is only accessible by boat. Obviously, all the people from the Galapagos felt nostalgic because it s something we re familiar with since childhood, and to know that it has changed was a bit of a shock,
ABC News. However, 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 our planet.

For the first time in over a year, millions of New Yorkers won t have to wear a mask Wednesday when visiting most places.
That s because the state will be following mask-wearing guidelines issued by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That means everyone who is fully vaccinated won t need to have on a mask while indoors or outdoors or take part in social distancing. But, businesses do have the right to ask people to wear a mask regardless of their vaccination status.
