I wasn't even looking for a munar arch

This happened when I was landing a rover to scout a safe flat area for kethane drilling. On descent I noticed something strange to the north of my landing path which I quickly realized was an arch:

After I made a few corrections, I managed to land right near it:

I didn't actually know where the munar arches were located and never really had an incentive to find them.

I've gone around at an altitude of 6km at only 10 time warp looking for the Mun arches. So I have heard, the Mun arches are flat areas and would make the perfect testing ground for my new base system. Anyone know the exact coordinates or can you point it out in a map view pic?

There are three arches, but I have no idea whether they're of different height.

The first one I've stumbled upon was at 1.8°N,81°E and it was very tall. This might be the one in the photo above.

11.7°N,38.7°E and 12.6°S,140.4°W are where I've found other arches.

There are also those monoliths (for which I don't care much because they don't look like The Monolith), Armstrong memorial and a crashed flying saucer.

81.9°S,102.6°E is supposedly where one of the monoliths sits, but the only thing worth visiting there are the huge holes in the ground. One of them is really deep and doesn't end with a spike (it's not a rendering error), but rather like a bowl.

I've found one of them on accident, on the equator (I wasn't sure there was more than one, no idea where the others are). I don't think yours is the one I found. I normally land it, it's something to do, and it's roughly where I used to like landing when I did my straight shots to the Mun. I usually land within a km or two, and send a kerbal out on EVA to go visit it and fly around. If I remember correctly, something like 300m tall.
