Over one kilometer in length, 8 hectares in surface area and 2.5 million liters of water. Too big to picture? Let's put it this way; The size of this pool is equivalent to 6,000 standard-size 8-meter long swimming pools. This one took five years to build, cost nearly $2 billion and has an annual maintenance bill of $4 million. The monster pool uses a computer- controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation. The star of the show is the man-made lagoon in San Alfonso del Mar resort located in seaside Algarrobo, Chile.
My God,I thought this is the heaven.But I'd thought Chile's poor,why the hell they could splash out so much money to build such an magnificant fish tank.Do they really think once millions of poor people swim in there,they will stop complaining about the starving.If that's case,how many of those fish tanks will africa need.I almost can see world peace from there.
