For the small swimming pool, see Swimming pool § Private pools.
Surface of the Seljalandsfoss plunge pool (Iceland)Water going over the falls carries sand and pebbles that scour a plunge pool at its base.
A plunge pool (or plunge basin or waterfall lake) is a deep depression in a stream bed at the base of a waterfall or shut-in. It is created by the erosional forces of cascading water on the rocks at the formation's base where the water impacts.[1] The term may refer to the water occupying the depression, or the depression itself.[2]
