This beautiful geothermal underground pool is in the homestead resort in Utah. Sun shine through a central hole in the dome shaped roof, like the Pantheon in Rome.

I was out here years ago and went swimming. Neat place. Locals learn how to scuba dive here.
The dome was slowly formed over the years as the cooling water precipitated its minerals. It rose up into its “beehive shape.”
It’s about a 30 minute drive south from Park City.

Very similar to the hundreds of Cenotes throughout Yucatan, Mexico, which are essentially undeground pools with holes in the ceiling. Wonderful water too.
