Latest visit to the mysterious place called Lubuk Pusing

Peace be upon you. On to the third day of the trip. Continuing from the article The part of the Bernam river which used to be land connected to the rest of Perak.



Sunday 9th May 2021. After spending the night at a nearby mosque I walked across the road to get to this parts.



I have been here 2-3 times before. Look at the old articles The 'Bermuda Triangle' that is Lubuk Pusing in Sabak Bernam (2009) and New visit to the actual Lubuk Pusing (2015).



So I won't repeat what is essentially the same story told before on the place.






The difference is this time I'm armed with the actually geographical knowledge and factual history about the place.




These parcels of land in view were indeed part of the Bernam river system. You can check it yourself by viewing Google Map on the place in satellite mood.





Having observed the still existing course of the river about 3-4 kilometres away which is more than 100 metres wide I can conceive it was also as wide around here.



I have mentioned the relevant related facts in the article The part of the Bernam river which used to be land connected to the rest of Perak.



What is hard to answer is why the water in this pool still bubbles without heat.



This is marked as the place where there used to be a dangerous whirlpool in the middle of the river.



Looking around...
