At high tide, it looks like the Pacific Ocean is draining into a circular hole in the middle of Cape Perpetua, just south of Yachats, Oregon. The bubbling water falling into a seemingly bottomless hole has led some to call it “the drainpipe of the Pacificâ€Â or even “the gate to hell.â€Â But most know it as Thor’s Well. Although it looks like a violent sinkhole sucking in the entire ocean, its true form is actually much less sinister. In reality, it is a hole in a rock formation that’s only about 20 feet deep. It was likely formed after years of waves crashing down on the same spot, causing erosion which eventually prompted the rock to collapse inward to form a sea cave.
