The Dead Sea - The lowest salt lake in the world # 5

in #english6 years ago
This sea owes its name to the absence of life in its waters, because the concentration of salt is so high that it is impossible for them to survive on aquatic animals. If a fish enters these waters by mistake it dies, and its body is covered with salt crystals

It's about ten times saltier than the oceans!

It is located 416.5 m below sea level between Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian territory, it is about 76 km long and a maximum width of about 16 km; its surface is approximately 625 km².

Baths with mud or mud are internationally recognized as the best in the world due to their salinity as well as their high proportions of iron, magnesium, calcium chloride, sodium and potassium, so this type of bathrooms have exceptional therapeutic qualities.
