In another relentless victory for entropy "Darwin's Arch" has collapsed into "The Pillars of Evolution" If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I hear ya I had no idea myself but here it is There's this huge arch-shaped rock formation in the sea near the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador It's been called Darwin's Arch for some time now because there was once this guy who liked animals a lot and who sailed up and down and around the formation many, many times with his pet beagle while writing books of their adventures and.... Yeah ^{_{*Pretty accurate*}} Maybe you've heard of him? The formation is also called ***El Arenal*** ^{_{*Darwin's Arch* to some, *El Arenal* to others...}} The rock has been there a long time It probably wasn't named for most of that time It's literally a geological feature Accreting and eroding, living and dying Across the ineffable span of geologic time > Cosmic time? > Even longer again > We are always right at the very edge of creation

Right, so a few days ago the middle bit broke out of Darwin's Arch and sunk into the abyss This left two smaller tower bits on each side which have now been named "The Pillars of Evolution" because pretentiousness ![Darwin's Art and The Pillars of Evolution comparison](https://images.hive.blog/DQma6syYavUyAFjoiP7RiD8Q6y2zSpwY2zXpMiiXgS1kUkQ/darwin-arch-1621524013749.jpg)^{_{[Source](https://www.greenmatters.com/p/darwin-arch-collapse) [](https://web.archive.org/web/20210522035809/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greenmatters.com%2Fp%2Fdarwin-arch-collapse)}} Apparently SCUBA diving around The Pillars is great; divers encounter Hammerhead Sharks, Whale Sharks and Manta Rays among other species > ^{_{*And another one gone
