The blowhole of Monks' Cave, a sea cave near Aberystwyth

In geology, a blowhole is a cavity formed in the ground at the inland end of a sea cave. When waves enter the mouth of the cave they will be funneled up towards the blowhole, which can result in quite spectacular splashes if the geometry and state of the weather is appropriate. See For a list of blowholes; refer Category:Blowholes.
