The arch is believed to have fallen when the park was temporarily closed during Tropical Storm Nolo last weekend.
HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii (AP) — A scenic cliff on the wave-swept coast of Hawaii’s Big Island has collapsed, the National Park Service said.
"This formation is beautiful, but temporary, and has a limited life span," the park service said in 2021.
Earthquakes during the 2018 Kīlauea volcanic eruption and summit collapse damaged the cliffs around the arch.
