Planet Earth is rich in amazing natural phenomena. Inanimate nature is so diverse that it often forms something new, unusual for the human eye. Residents of the middle and equatorial strip come to the snow caps of the planet to observe the northern lights. Geysers, waterfalls, canyons attract travelers. Bizarre caves are separate worlds with their life forms.
On the northwest coast of the United States there is one of the wonders of nature. This is a unique natural phenomenon. The well of Thor is located on Cape Perpetua. This so-called well is most likely part of the cave labyrinth. Although no one reliably knows what is hidden in the abyss of sea water, because it is too dangerous to go down into the water seething from the waves.
Cape nature description
The entire coast of Cape Perpetua consists of blocks formed by solidified lava. In the past, volcanoes actively erupted here. And now, not far from the Well of Thor, an active volcano rises - St. Helens. Virgin forest grows on the cape of Oregon.
This state is famous for magnificent sunsets. And the Well of Thor is recommended to visit in the rays of the setting sun.
Impressive natural phenomenon
An hour before the tide, the first spray begins from the depths of the natural formation. The stronger the waves and the greater the tide, the more spectacular a natural phenomenon. First, water flows into the Well of Thor, and then, when a tidal wave fills the hole from below, water breaks out into the air with great force. The height of the water stream can reach 6 meters. It all depends on the weather. Since the height of the tides is greater in winter, the strength of the natural phenomenon is greater. In the wind, waves also increase, which means that water breaks out to a great height.
Rising, water falls, splashing around. And when the wave exposes the coast, the Well of Thor opens itself and absorbs the last remnants of the surrounding water. All the water goes nowhere, as if through a gate to the underworld.
