Waterfall pond


 * This article is about the location near the Serpent's Pass. For the waterfall from "The Waterbending Scroll", see Waterfall Lagoon.

This Waterfall Pond, located on the northern outskirts of the desert, is a delightful respite for travelers who have spent many days in the Si Wong Desert and is also quite close to the Serpent's Pass.

The Waterfall Pond is a freshwater pond that has a large, tiered cliff on one side where a waterfall dumps into the pond. It has ample fresh water for drinking and even for bathing. There are also high tiers that can be used as diving boards to jump into the water, making this location an ideal place for rest and relaxation.

History
After escaping the dry sands of the Si Wong Desert, Aang and his friends relaxed here while on their journey to Ba Sing Se. While Sokka was perched over his map and Toph was paddling, Aang enjoyed the cool waters of the pond, and, playfully drifting around, he encased himself in a giant ice cube. Katara on the other hand, dived off an overhanging cliff and created a Waterbending bomb, much to the dismay of Sokka, as the the water had splashed his "five thousand year old maps from the spirit library". Right when the team had decided that they would take the Serpent's Pass to Ba Sing Se, they encountered Tahn, his pregnant wife, Ying, and his sister. After learning that the Serpent's Pass was a deadly route, only taken by those who were truly desperate, the gang decided to join the Earth Kingdom refugees on their journey towards Full Moon Bay, where they would take the ferry across the lake to the Earth Kingdom capital.
