Tushuk Tash a.k.a. Shipton's Arch

Tushuk Tash (天洞), a.k.a. Shipton's Arch, China, the tallest natural arch in the world at 1200 feet.

Discovered in 1947 by famed british explorer Eric Shipton, then dropped from the Guinness Book of World Records because it's existence could not be verified. Rediscovered in May 2000 by National Geographic.
