  • An image shared on Facebook claims to show God’s Hand, a heart-shaped pond, in Zimbabwe. Verdict: False The image actually shows a water-filled quarry in Crimea, not a pond in Zimbabwe. Fact Check: The image shows what appears to be a light blue, heart-shaped pond at the base of a cliff. Look at ‘God’s Hand,’ reads the post’s caption. This pond named ‘God’s Hand’ is found in Buchwa, Mberengwa District, Midlands province.Zimbabwe. There is, however, no evidence a pond called God’s Hand that is shaped like a heart exists in Zimbabwe. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found a near-identical photo on the stock image website Alamy explaining the pond is in a quarry in Crimea. Sunrise over heart shaped blue quarry lake.

The quarry was developed in the last century, and then after it was abandoned, it was slowly filled with water and turned into a giant rusty funnel with a blue-green lake below sea level, reads a description of the quarry on Ukraine Trek .
