Thor's Cave is a special cave that belongs to a type called Karst Cave, which is formed by water dissolving rocks The cave is located on a rocky hill formed by an accumulation of ancient marine biolayers, the process of cave formation may have lasted for thousands or even millions of years.
As the water penetrates the rocky mountain bottom and mixes with strong winds, it slowly erodes the rocks and forms caves over time, which will eventually form the large caves we see today however rest assured that the caves will not be eroding any further than in prehistoric times.
Why is it called Thor's Cave?
People often wonder the real reason why the cave is called Thor's Cave remains a mystery, and prevalent theories lack evidence.
The cave is also known as Thor's House Cavern and Thyrsis's Cave, although some associate the cave with Thor, the deity of Norse mythology, there is a lack of conclusive evidence.
Did you know that the cave was featured on the cover of The Verve’s album A Storm in Heaven and on their single Blue?
