The Dead Sea


Last week Caleb and I went to the Dead Sea. It is really weird to swim in it because you don't sink. You don't sink because it has a very high salt level. In fact it is the saltiest lake in the world. The suface of the lake lies 1,385 feet below sea level making it the lowest point on any continent. It is called the Dead Sea because little life is found in it, only bacteria lives in it. At 1,240 feet deep it is the world's deepest hypersaline lake.
