 Shipton's Arch: The Tallest Natural Arch in The World Photo:  LoudNotes/Wikimedia Shipton's Arch, also known as Tushuk Tash or Tushuk Tunguz, is considered the tallest natural arch in the world. It is located in the remote and rugged Pamir Mountains, in the western part of China's Xinjiang region, near the border with Tajikistan. The arch was named after the British mountaineer and explorer Eric Shipton, who first discovered it during a reconnaissance expedition in 1947. It has a height of approximately 1,200 feet (365 meters) from the base to the top of the arch, making it nearly twice as tall as the famous Delicate Arch in Utah's Arches National Park. The formation of Shipton's Arch is believed to be the result of millions of years of geological processes, including the erosion of softer rock layers by wind, water, and ice. The arch is made of red sandstone and has a span of approximately 200 feet (60 meters). Despite its impressive size, Shipton's Arch is re
