Thor's well

The Torah Well is a large depression in the form of a well in the USA at Cape Perpetua. The coast is very peculiar and arose under the influence of huge lava flows, which formed buttes and crevices in the rocks.

The Tora well is famous for the fact that at high tide it fills with water and throws it up 5-6 meters. The most beautiful moment is when the incoming waves begin to flood the well. This is exactly the moment that the photographers who come here are waiting for. A special viewing platform has been built for the convenience of visitors. But this is not enough for many photographers, and they try to get as close to the well as possible and, as a rule, return after that all wet.

Scientists believe that the Thor well was formed as a result of volcanic activity. The entire coast consists of frozen lava flows. There is even an active volcano, St. Helens, 250 km away.

It is worth noting that all the water entering the well of the Tor seeps into the underground caves. This creates the illusion that the well is bottomless and goes straight into the underworld, which is why the well is sometimes called the "Gates of Hell."
