Thor Well, USA
From series “Stunning Beauty Places of the Earth, Unknown to Tourists”
USA is rich in unique natural attractions, some of which are annually welcoming millions of guests, and the others are only known to the few experienced travelers. The latter include Thorwell (Thorwells). This remarkable natural formation is located in the state of Oregon, on Perpetua Cape. The strip near the coast was influenced by the volcanic activity, as a result of which several bays and rocky spines have formed here.
There is no more formation on the coast which is similar to the Thor fountain. It is reminiscent of the huge well of the regular round shape, from whose rocky walls the streams of the rushing water fall. Many tourists strive to get along the coast during the flood. In this period one can observe the interesting natural phenomenon: the water fills the well from below and shoots from it in a powerful fountain and dissipates in millions of tiny drops.
