The Dead Sea is a saltwater lake, so not actually a sea, surrounded by Israel<\/a>, the West Bank (Palestine)<\/a> and Jordan<\/a>. The lake is 80 by 16 kilometers, covers an area of over 800 km2, lies between the African and Arabian Plains and its shore is the lowest piece of land on the earth’s surface. The shore was already 429 meters below sea level in 2005 and the water level continues to drop, currently by more than one meter per year. The water evaporates, leaving only the salt and minerals. Do you want to float in the Dead Sea? Then you’d better hurry. Don’t wait too long and read on!<\/p>\n
