Viral Kyiv Pool Video Exposed as Iceland Hoax
A viral video claiming to show a new heated outdoor pool in Kyiv has been exposed as a hoax. The footage, which has garnered significant attention, is actually from a popular tourist spot in Iceland. The video, shared widely on social media, purports to showcase a newly opened attraction in the Ukrainian capital. However, a closer inspection reveals several discrepancies. The landscape in the video features mountains, which are not present in Kyiv's urban environment. Furthermore, the pool itself is the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, a world-famous geothermal spa. This was confirmed by comparing the footage to verified images of the Blue Lagoon. This is not the first time such a hoax has surfaced. In the past, similar false claims about a thermal resort and a Titanic museum in the Kyiv region have been debunked. Experts suspect this may be part of a scheme to attract subscribers to private Telegram channels with false promises of exclusive information. The viral video of the alleged new heated outdoor pool in Kyiv is a hoax. The footage is actually from the Blue Lagoon in Iceland. Authorities urge the public to be cautious of such claims and to verify information before sharing.
