Did You Know The 25 -Est In The World: #18 The Lowest Point on Earth

The Earth's lowest point is situated between Israel and Jordan, a salt lake known as The Dead Sea. At 420 m (-420 m) below sea level, its shore is actually the lowest point on dry land.

The Dead Sea is 67 km long and 18 km at its widest point. Salinity is 8.6 times more saline than seawater (normally 35 to 37 ppt) making it possible for anyone to literally float on it. Cool.

FYI, the lowest point in North America is the Badwater Basin, 86 m below sea level, Dead Valley California.

Looking at the sunset, I'd say it's a place for a memorable vacation.
