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.
The Thorfountain attracts not only the courageous tourists and the followers of the natural sights, but also many professional photographers. Some of them spend on the coast several days to make a unique shot. For the few tourists who visit the coast, the comfortable viewing platforms were built next to the fountain. Thorbrunnen is not only one of the most beautiful and strange sights in the world, but also one of the little explored natural objects of the planet. Until now, the exact depth of the well remains unknown to modern scientists. Because of the strong current the divers have never dived into the well.
