Malebo Pool is a lakelike expansion of the lower Congo River and marks the point of departure for inland navigation. It covers an area of 174 square miles (450 square km) and is divided into deep navigable channels by Bamu Island (70 square miles [181 square km]) in its center. The capital cities of Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of the Congo) and Brazzaville (Republic of the Congo) are located on opposite banks of Malebo Pool.
