    If social distancing is driving you a little crazy, here are four world's most beautiful natural pools for you to get relaxed.

    Devil's Pool

    Victoria Falls in southeastern Africa measures 108 metres tall and more than 1676 metres wide. But for some brave people, the top of the Falls, known as Devil's Pool, is just another swimming hole. With water levels at their lowest from September to December, large numbers of swimmers adventure into the pool.

    Barton Springs Pool in Austin, U. S. , covers three acres and maintains a temperature of about 20 degrees year-round. Admission to the 5-metre deep pool ranges from midMarch until the end of September. For local residents (居民),the cost is $ 3 for adults and $ 1 for kids under 8 (non-residents pay $ 8 for adults and $ 3 for kids under 8).
