You know that hole to China people always? Digging a hole to China? Thor’s Well may very well be it… or at least someone’s attempt at it! Check it out:

Pretty cool, no? Anyone that wants to learn more about Thor’s Well should do a search for ‘Spouting Horn’, too — that is its other name.

    “A large hole was present in the rock about 10 feet in diameter.”
    The pictures are easier to find than the actual size of the thing.

    Great find!   Can Oregon contractor come to Europe and dig a few more to counteract the threat of rising sea levels?
