### The size of a pond in 2D invasion percolation

#### Abstract

We consider invasion percolation on the square lattice. van den Berg, Peres, Sidoravicius and Vares have proved that the probability that the radius of a so-called pond is larger than $n$, differs at most a factor of order log $n$ from the probability that in critical Bernoulli percolation the radius of an open cluster is larger than $n$. We show that these two probabilities are, in fact, of the same order. Moreover, we prove an analogous result for the volume of a pond.
