世界第一个空中泳池亮相伦敦

The world's first "sky pool" has been unveiled - and it's high enough to give anyone a touch of vertigo.

世界第一个“空中泳池”近日惊艳亮相——它的高度足以让任何人头晕目眩。

 
Towering far above the street balanced between two residential buildings in Nine Elms in London like a precarious nest, the sky pool isn't for everyone.
 
But the newly-built swimming experience looks like it has to be tried if you're not bothered by heights.
 
Situated in the capital's new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the 90ft long glass encased pool is suspended 10 storeys, or 110ft up.
 
The pool is entirely transparent and structure free, 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1.2m.
 
Acting as a bridge between two apartment buildings, swimmers are afforded a view right through the bottom of the pool down to the street below, and it's even got a bar, loungers, a spa and an orangery.
 
It's in Embassy Gardens, and is a part of a new development which will have 2,000 homes beside the new American Embassy in the capital.
