Memorial North Pool is one of two reflecting pools located at the 9/11 Memorial, which commemorates the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Each pool is nearly an acre in size, making them the largest man-made waterfalls in North America.
The names of every person who died in the 2001 and 1993 World Trade Center attacks are inscribed around the edges of the pools.
The pools are set within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, symbolizing both loss and renewal.
The Memorial Plaza surrounding the pools is home to over 400 swamp white oak trees, chosen for their resilience and beauty.
A Callery pear tree that survived the 9/11 attacks was nursed back to health and now stands as a symbol of resilience and hope.
The pools are illuminated at night, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere for visitors.
