Sea water seems to be sucked into a bottomless hole on the coast of Oregon, USA.
This unique attraction is called "Thor's Well", sometimes referred to as "Hell's Gate". In fact, this sea hole is only about 6 meters deep.
At high tide, waves come in and fill the hole until it overflows or splashes. The water then recedes back into the hole, making the Well appear to be continuously draining.
Thor's Well attracts many tourists and photographers around the world thanks to this unique phenomenon.
This place is located in the area of Cape Perpetua, Lincoln County, Oregon, USA.

According to Gary Hayes of Traveloregon.com, Thor's Well may have originally been a sea cave, then part of the cave's ceiling collapsed and was eroded by seawater. He also advised visitors not to get too close to the well for safety.
Since May 2016, 3 tourists have been knocked down by sudden strong waves near the well. Fortunately, no one fell into the hole or was seriously injured.
