There is a place in Oregon known as Thor's Well. This place is located right on the edge of the sea. As the name suggests, this well is a hole in the ground. However, what makes this collapsing hole more spectacular than others? Because it is located right on the coast, this hole continuously sucks water from the sea.

For those who want more practice, there is a half-mile circular path on the Captain Cook Trail. Due to the slippery basalt rocks, it is recommended to wear well-fitting shoes with good grip.

Sumur Thor may be a sinkhole, although this is still debated. From its appearance, this hole seems bottomless. Although scientists know that this hole has a bottom, determining its depth is not easy. It is estimated that this hole is only about 20 feet deep, not as deep as imagined. However, it is difficult not to imagine this hole as an endless abyss leading to the center of the earth when looking at it. The name of this well comes from the Norse God of Thunder, Thor, with the story that this hole was created as a result of Thor's strike in the area.

The process of the formation of this well is still mysterious. Some groups believe that initially this well was a large and shallow sea cave due to wave erosion, until it eventually collapsed and became a collapsed hole known as Thor's Well.

Sumur Thor is a popular tourist destination, best visited during high tide or bad weather. The water flows spectacularly over the rocks before disappearing into the hole. It is recommended to come one hour before high tide to see the well in its glory, while waiting for the peak of high tide to see it full of water and even spouting up to 40 feet like a geyser. Sumur Thor offers an amazing experience all year round, although the cold weather in winter in Oregon can reach temperatures of 45 degrees Fahrenheit at Cape Perpetua.

Sumur Thor is not only an attractive attraction but also very dangerous, especially during storms and high tides. Visitors are vulnerable to falling into the waves and being dragged into the hole. If this well is a collapsed sea cave, there may be a second large entrance, but strong currents and tides can strand people on rocks, even for skilled swimmers. This area is also often hit by sudden waves, which can ambush without warning.
