Utah's Iconic Double Arch Collapses After Millennia

The beloved geological feature in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area fell due to suspected erosion and changing water levels.

The Double Arch, also known as the 'Toilet Bowl,' 'Crescent Pool,' and 'Hole in the Roof,' collapsed on Thursday.
The formation was made of 190-million-year-old Navajo sandstone and had been eroding due to weather, wind, and rain.
National Park Service officials suspect changing water levels and wave action in Lake Powell contributed to the collapse.
No injuries were reported, but the event highlights the need for protecting natural resources from human impact.
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area spans nearly 2,000 square miles and attracts millions of visitors annually.
