Hawaii's Hōlei Sea Arch collapses into the ocean

Original: Hawaii's picturesque Hōlei Sea Arch collapses into the ocean

The Hōlei Sea Arch, a famous natural rock formation on Hawaii's Big Island near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, has collapsed into the ocean. The arch, a popular stop for visitors along the Chain of Craters Road, was formed from ancient lava flows and shaped by constant wave erosion. The collapse removes a well-known landmark from one of Hawaii's most scenic coastal stretches.

Why now: The sudden loss of a famous natural landmark is striking news, and the collapse highlights how erosion and volcanic geology continually reshape Hawaii's coastline.
