The Devil’s Swimming Pool, or Devil’s Armchair, is a naturally formed infinity pool at the very top of Victoria Falls in Zambia. 420 feet above the river below, it is perfectly safe (in the dry season) to relax at the edge of one of the world’s largest waterfalls. From above the water it appears as if there’s nothing to stop one from being carried over the lip of the falls, but beneath the surface there is a natural rocky ledge that generates a back-eddy and stops the current. Looks scary, especially to jumping into, but the thousands of still-alive visitors can attest to its perfect safety record.
Oh sure, the still-alive visitors cann attest to its perfect safety record. But how about the safety record for the un-alive/missing visitors?
I also want to know who was the first person to verify the circumstances about this pool.
its only a few months out of the year that its safe ,DAMN IT I wanna do that
don’t waterfalls graduually erode the rock back bit by bit? So who wants to be in there when it finally gives way?
uummm, water?
@beharu – My thought exactly!
Now that is cool!
