Have you ever seen the dead sea?
Do you know why it’s called that? This is because it’s very high in salinity which prevents aquatic organisms. It is impossible to drown in the Dead Sea because the amount of salt stops swimmers from sinking. The Dead Sea lies in Jordan Rift Valley and it is the Earth’s lowest elevation on land. This is because the surface and shores are 430 meters below sea level. If you enjoyed chilling or taking a swim when you visit the sea, don’t forget to check out the Dead Sea Museum, as well.
