Britain's tallest sea stack stands 137 meters tall is Going to Disappear into the Atlantic

Britain's tallest sea stack stands 137 meters tall — 40 meters higher than Big Ben.
The Old Man of Hoy rises from the sea off Orkney, Scotland. You can see it from the NorthLink Ferries route between Scrabster and Stromness.
But here's the wild part: in geological terms, it's young. Less than 400 years old.
Its story started 400 million years ago when a giant lake covered the region. Layers of sand built up. Volcanic rock held firm. Then the sea attacked.
Maps from 1600 show a headland. By 1750, erosion was underway. A sketch from 1819 shows the Old Man with two legs — an arch at the base. Eventually the arch collapsed. Now it stands alone, only 30 meters wide at its base.
Winds hit gale force 29 days a year. Waves crash constantly. A 40-meter crack now runs down its face.
Will it fall? Eventually. But not anytime soon. The Old Man will keep standing — for now. 🌊🏴
