Beware: These are Places You Do NOT Want to Swim In

Dominica Hell Pit

This may look like a fun pool size jacuzzi to swim in, but you are looking at one of the most dangerous places to swim in the world! This is the Boiling Lake in Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic). Under the water is a large sinkhole, and the water is boiling so hot you can probably poach an egg in it in 10 seconds, and it would still be overcooked!

Our Planet Earth is simply fascinating and full of surprises. The best part is that it never gets boring. Every day you could be hearing something new about it. Dominica’s Boiling Lake is one of them. This place is a World Heritage site, situated in the Morne Trois Pitons National park.
