According to the website Atlas Obscura, Thor's Well, actually the common fraction hole (sinkhole), as well as the Dean's Blue Hole or Belize Great Blue Hole.

But what makes Thor's Well has become remarkably is the appearance like a waterfall sea in a fairy tale. Thor's Well will look very amazing when the surf was high or when there is a storm. When the waves crashing and meet wells with salty water, the flow looks like a waterfall sea.

The water that does not necessarily flooded the wells, but immediately seeps in between the crevices of rocks that make up the Thor's Well. As if Thor's Well is a bottomless well that swallows all things. Though its depth is only about 6 meters.

However, that does not mean Thor's Well could not life threatening. Do not get splashed into while enjoying the charm. Anyone can be killed by drowning.

Sitting on the edge of the Oregon coast, a gaping, seemingly bottomless sinkhole swallows the unbroken stream of seawater around it. Thor's Well, as the natural wonder is known, is not bottomless; it is, however, very dangerous.

Also known as the drainpipe of the Pacific, the well is actually a hole in the rock that only appears to drain water from the ocean. In reality the huge hole is likely only around 20 feet deep. Even if the well is not quite as magic as it seems, it still manages to produce amazing sights (though not for the faint of heart!).

The site is most spectacular at high tide, or during storms when water washes violently over the rocks and funnels into the hole. During these sudden torrents, unsuspecting visitors to the site run the risk of being swept right into the maelstrom. Regardless of the risks, photographers and nature lovers continue to flock to the stunning fountain to see the aggressive waters that live up to their godly namesake's stormy personality.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame tracks the evolution of this musical and cultural phenomenon through more than 50 exhibits. There's Janis Joplin's psychedelic Porsche, Michael Jackson's sparkly glove, the awning from CBGB's, the scribbled lyrics of ideas that morphed into classics, and dozens and dozens of iconic instruments.

Rock and roll used to scare parents and inflame preachers. It's hard to believe that a hip roll by a Tennessean could have sent the world into an end-times frenzy. But it did.

But even this, the largest collection of rock artifacts in the world, can't completely define the genre or quell the controversy that clings to it.

Nary a Rock Hall visitor leaves without weighing in on who should and shouldn't be included in the hall of fame. Elvis? The Beatles? Those are no brainers. Madonna and Run DMC? Talk amongst yourselves.

More than 9 million visitors, each with their own favorites and memories, have visited the I.M. Pei-designed Rock Hall since it opened in 1995.

Why Cleveland? The Rock Hall Foundation originally planned to open a hall of fame and museum in a New York City brownstone. A group of Ohioans lobbied for Cleveland, touting the city's major music milestones.

Most notably, Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed popularized the term "rock 'n' roll" on his integrated radio show and organized the country's first official rock 'n' roll concert, a shindig, that, coincidentally, was shut down for overcrowding and rioting. Yep, that's how we roll.

It's not all history. The Rock Hall also hosts a bevy of concerts throughout the year. Visitors also can check out the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Library & Archives located at Cuyahoga Community College.

Tip: You don't need to buy a ticket to visit the gift shop, which sells everything from guitar pic earrings to T-shirts, shot glasses and, of course, music.

In 1985, when the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was deciding where to open its physical museum, Cleveland threw its hat into the ring for consideration. Thanks to a groundswell of public support and a $65 million commitment from city officials, the Foundation chose Cleveland as the winning site, over locales such as New York, San Francisco, Memphis and Chicago. Needless to say, the Rock Hall's construction was cooler than most. On June 7, 1993, the Who's Pete Townshend, Chuck Berry, Billy Joel, Sam Phillips, and Ruth Brown (to name a few) attended the Cleveland groundbreaking ceremony, while Jerry Lee Lewis performed a year later when the building was finished off with the placement of one last steel beam.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame threw open its doors on September 2, 1995, and celebrated with a blockbuster benefit concert at nearby Cleveland Municipal Stadium. This marathon show featured once-in-a-lifetime pairings (for example, Chuck Berry's mischievous onstage collaboration with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band) and performances by greats such as James Brown, Bob Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash and Booker T. and the M.G.s. Besides the Municipal Stadium concert, the Rock Hall's festive opening weekend featured a downtown Cleveland parade and a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Little Richard and Yoko Ono.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame leadership team is dedicated to bringing the museum's vision of engage, teach and inspire through the power of rock and roll to life. Click below to access the official leadership bios.

A new study published in March 2018 reveals the Rock Hall had a total impact of $199 million in business sales in Cuyahoga County. Visitors to the Rock Hall spent an estimated $127.4 million in 2017, averaging a daily spend of $349,000, both on-site and at other businesses in the County. This direct spending generated additional benefits through indirect and induced effects.

Rock Hall visitor spending supported 1,872 jobs and $59.9 million in income earned, including indirect and induced benefits. Most of these employment and income benefits came in the food and beverage, recreation, and lodging sectors.

Visitors to the Rock Hall generated nearly $13.4 million in state and local tax revenues. Local revenues included $2.9 million in local sales tax revenues and another $1.2 million in bed tax revenues.

The Rock Hall continues to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors to Cuyahoga County annually and plays a significant role in the regional economy. In 2017, the Rock Hall had a total attendance of nearly 568,000, a 4.6% increase from 2016 and its third record-breaking attendance growth. Of these visitors to the Rock Hall, nearly 81%, came from outside the region and their spending supported employment, income, and local tax revenues in Cuyahoga County.

Additionally, every year, the Rock Hall welcomes thousands of students into the Museum to experience firsthand the power of rock and roll through its award-winning programs. To date, new numbers show that more than 300,000 students have participated in Rock Hall learning programs. The Toddler Rock program powered by PNC has reached 5,000 at-risk youth, who each spent an average of 60 hours learning and saw a 71% increase in letter recognition and comprehension scores. More than $10 million dollars collected from the Rock Hall's admission taxes have gone directly to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
About the study:
Estimates of the economic impact of visitors to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame were based on Rock Hall audited financials, visitor surveys conducted by the Rock Hall and Longwoods International, and local bed tax data available from Destination Cleveland. Total economic impacts were estimated with an IMPLAN input-output model for Cuyahoga County.

In 1983, Atlantic Records co-founder/chairman Ahmet Ertegun spearheaded the formation of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Ertegun enlisted a group of music industry lifers-including Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, Bruce Springsteen manager Jon Landau, attorney Suzan Evans, and record executives Seymour Stein and Bob Krasnow-and together the organization set out to celebrate the musicians who founded, changed and revolutionized rock & roll.

The nonprofit Foundation's first goal was establishing the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In January 1986, the first class of inductees were honored at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Grand Ballroom. A few months later, Cleveland was selected as the permanent home of the brick-and-mortar Rock Hall.

In the ensuing decades, the Foundation has continued its support of the Rock Hall. Each year, its nominating committee gathers to choose the artists comprising the performer category ballot. The Foundation also holds special fundraising events (such as 2009's star-studded 25th anniversary concerts, which helped fund the Rock Hall's first endowment) and provides ongoing funding for capital projects. In fact, it remains the largest single contributing donor to the Rock Hall.

Designed by internationally renowned architect I.M. Pei, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is one of Cleveland's most striking (and recognizable) pieces of architecture. The 150,000-square-foot building has a glass-enclosed, double pyramid adjacent to a 162-foot tower, both of which soar above the shores of Lake Erie. Upside-down cars from U2's Zoo TV tour greet visitors in the sun-filled lobby atrium, which often hosts concerts and other special events, while a nosh-worthy café and the museum store offer plenty of dining and shopping options.

The Rock Hall's exhibition space stretches over 55,000 square feet and seven levels, and features plenty of nooks and crannies filled with multimedia goodies to explore. In the coming years, the building's already-bustling, brick-lined, 65,000 square-foot outdoor plaza will become a community gathering place filled with the sound of frequent live performances.

At the Rock Hall, being kind to the planet is built into our DNA. Remnants from closed exhibits or old fixtures are sent to a reclamation facility to be reused and recycled, while the building itself has environment-conscious touches such as motion-activated washroom faucets and recycling bins. Rock Hall staff members are also committed to being environmentally friendly-among other things, we sip fair trade coffee from stoneware mugs in the employee kitchen-and our on-site caterers and events professionals also strive to be eco-aware. Plus, we have an ongoing partnership with Baldwin Wallace University's Sustainability Program to make sure we stay on the right track.

In recent years, the Rock Hall has installed more energy-efficient electronics and LEDs in place of standard electric and sodium light bulbs. Opened in 2012, the nearby Library and Archives was also specifically designed with the environment in mind. Both the interior and exterior was constructed using materials from sustainable sources, and the water, heating and cooling systems meet or exceed standards set by the U.S. Green Building Council, which awarded the building with the LEED Silver Certification status.

Rock Hall employees work hard and play hard. But at heart, we're all music fans eager to share our knowledge and passion with everyone who comes through our doors. Learn about our open jobs.

Geology information from the National Park Service in Yellowstone

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Discovered in 1870 by the Washburn Expedition, Old Faithful geyser was named for its frequent and somewhat predictable eruptions, which number more than a million since Yellowstone became the world's first national park in 1872.

Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin in the southwest section of the park. The geyser-viewing area is the most accessible and visitor-friendly in the park with bench seating, a large parking lot, and a ranger station that tracks the time, height and length of an eruption to predict the next eruption.

When does Old Faithful erupt?

Basic prediction of Old Faithful is dependent upon the duration of the previous eruption. During visitor center hours, geyser statistics and predictions are maintained by the naturalist staff. People speak of the average time between eruptions. This is misleading. The mathematical average between eruptions of Old Faithful is currently 74 minutes, but it doesn't like to act average! Intervals can range from 60-110 minutes. Visitors can check for posted prediction times in most buildings in the Old Faithful area.

Watch a video about predicting Old Faithful eruptions.

How high does Old Faithful erupt and how long will it last?

Old Faithful can vary in height from 100-180 feet with an average near 130-140 feet. This has been the historical range of its recorded height. Eruptions normally last between 1.5 to 5 minutes.

I heard Old Faithful isn't as faithful as it used to be. Is it slowing down?

It depends on what you call faithful. The famous geyser currently erupts around 20 times a day and can be predicted with a 90 percent confidence rate within a 10 minute variation. Prior to the 1959 earthquake, Old Faithful erupted 21 times per day. That's a significant decrease in activity for geologists tracking each eruption, but to visitors seeing one or two eruptions... it looks just fine.

How many gallons of water are expelled during an eruption?

It depends on the duration of the eruption. Scientists estimate that the amount ranges from 3,700 gallons (for a short duration of 1.5 minutes) to 8,400 gallons (for a longer duration of 4.5 minutes).

How hot is the water in Old Faithful?

It's hot. During an eruption, the water temperature at the vent has been measured at 204°F (95.6°C). The steam temperature has been measured above 350°F! Stay a safe distance from thermal features and never leave the boardwalk to walk on a geyser's fragile crust.

How can I avoid the crowds at Old Faithful?

Since Yellowstone brings in upwards of 4 million visitors a year, securing a great view of the geyser's cone can be especially challenging, even though the scalding mist can reach 90 to 120 feet into the air for all to see.

To have a more intimate experience, avoid times from noon until 6 p.m. when bus tours and visitors are expected to arrive. Also consider visiting Yellowstone during the shoulder seasons, or at winter when you could very well get a private eruption viewing all your own.
