In which country is this natural pool? [photo]

The lake Otjikoto Lake was accidentally discovered in 1850 by…
an Englishman, Sir Francis Galton, and a Swede, Charles Anderson, who found in the area of exploration. It was, in fact, the first that swam in the deep waters, in defiance of the risk.
The lake is located near the city Tsumed of Namibia and owes its name to the word “οtjiherero” which in the dialect of the locals means “deep hole”. It is part of an underground river, which came to the surface when a section of the cave that covered the surface of it fell into the water.

Its diameter reaches 102 meters, while the depth in some places reaches 142 meters, which justifies the nickname of “Gaisis”, i.e. “very bad”(!), because of the fear it caused in all the deep waters of the.
Why, of course, only bad can’t describe (besides, the pictures speak for themselves!), while it is considered as one of the most beautiful natural pools in the world. The green waters, and a lot of green there is around you, leave no doubt on this!
In addition, many rare species live in the waters, and it is the “joy” of divers around the world. A myth, in fact, that there is around the name reinforces the fact that it is chosen constant for… diving! What does that mean?
During the first World War, and most notably in the final hostilities that took place in the area, the Germans threw it into the lake over 6 million gold marks, which were never found.
Beyond all of this, but the point is the magical natural swimming pool, but also the rare beauty of the environment constitute a stunning… dive into the deep dark waters of the myth!
