If you're ever in Zimbabwe, don't miss the chance to take a swim in The Devil's Pool, a small lagoon, enclosed by rocks, on the edge of one of the biggest, most beautiful waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls. Set on Livingstone Island, at a height of 103 meters, Devil's Pool is definitely one of the most surreal locations on Earth.

Count me out!!! That looks scary! All I could picture was slipping over the side never to be heard from again.

Victoria Falls is gorgeous I hear. But I ain't swimming in that! :-)

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Looks kind of cool to me.

In Wisconsin, we have Devil's Lake but it isn't as impressive but it's pretty impressive.  There are some Indian mounds there that are supposed to mark the equinoxes.

There is another video of people doing flips from the rocks on the perimeter of that lagoon... into the lagoon. I can't believe they are protected from the currents.

Here's the video....
