Formation of the Wink Sink, a salt dissolution and collapse feature, Winkler County, Texas Formation of the Wink Sink, a salt dissolution and collapse feature, Winkler County, Texas 1982

The Wink Sink in Winkler County, Texas, formed on June 3, 1980. Within 24 hours it had expanded to a maximum width of 360 ft (110 m). On June 5, 1980, maximum depth of the sinkhole was 110 ft (34 m), and volume about 5.6 million ft3 (158,600 m3).
