The name given to the area in central Africa where the Congo River suddenly widens and becomes a lake. The capital of the Republic of the Congo, Brazzaville, is located on the northwestern bank, and the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), Kinshasa, is located on the southwestern bank. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it is called Malebo Pool. It has an area of about 450 km2. In the center is M'Bamou Island (180 km2). The Congo River downstream becomes a rapids with rapids such as Livingstone Falls, making it impossible to navigate by ship, so the only way to reach the sea is by rail.
