Malaysia lost one of its most iconic natural landmarks recently after the Bako Sea Stack, located at the Bako National Park in Sarawak is essentially gone forever after it collapsed due to bad weather.
The vanishing of the Bako Sea Stack was shared online by tour and travel company Borneo Adventure which took to Facebook to share a video of the iconic sea stack missing from the front of Pandan Kecil beach at the Bako National Park where it used to be located.
The Bako Sea Stack is lost forever
The video was taken yesterday (13 February), with Borneo Adventure saying that one of their guides, Paul, confirmed the matter when he visited the area yesterday and took the video.
The vanishing of the Bako Sea Stack was also shared by the Sarawak Travel, Malaysia, Borneo Facebook page, which asserted,
“Unfortunate news at Bako National Park as one of its iconic sea stacks returns to the ocean, probably due to recent bad weather. A stark reminder of the ever-changing nature of our world.”
“Let’s cherish one of Sarawak’s natural wonders by sharing your cherished memories and photos of the fallen iconic Sea Stack at Bako National Park!”
The oldest national park in Sarawak
Located in the Kuching district, the Bako Sea Stack was part of the majestic coastline of steep cliffs, sea cliffs and sandy bays at the Bako National Park created by natural erosion of the sandstone for millions of years.
The oldest national park in Sarawak, the Bako National Park was established in 1957 and encompasses an area of 27.27 square kilometres. The park is only accessible by a 20-minute boat ride from the nearby village of Kampung Bako.
The Sea Stack at Bako has gone, collapsed. Our guide Paul was there just now.
