This natural attraction is known as Thor’s Well and is located near Spouting Horn, in Cook’s Chasm, within the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area.
Thor’s Well is a large hole on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. The theory is that the well was originally a cave whose roof collapsed due to water erosion. This collapse left a circular hole at the top and bottom of the cave, reaching a depth of 6 meters. It owes its name to the Norse god of thunder Thor that, according to legend, he created the well after striking the earth.
