Lowest point on Earth

The Dead Sea is 420 meters below sea level, and its shores are the lowest point on the surface of the Earth on dry land. The Dead Sea is 330m deep, the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. It is also the world's second saltiest body of water, with 30 percent salinity.

It was absolutely hilarious. You are not supposed to be able to do this! This is not a moments snap shot. You can actually lie like this with your hands and feet stretched up. Bobbing like a cork.
