Fissure

Seal Rock State Park
Oregon Central Coast

12. Fissure

Between Elephant rock and another ridge of rock is this fissure. The wave action here rolls the rocks back and forth. Over the years the basaltic rock have worn quite smooth. You can hear the clanking of the rocks as the waves come and go. Also, often froth formed will blow and create a interesting sight. In this picture you can see froth lodged on some of the rocks to the right.
