The Dead Sea, which is located between Israel and Jordan, is one of the most mysterious and interesting seas in the world.

Nature is capable of creating fascinating landforms. The Great Blue Hole of Belize, the colorful mountains of Zhangye Danxia in China or the Door to Hell of Darvaza in Turkmenistan are just some of them.

These landforms have a series of elements that make them unique. Such is the case of the Dead Sea, which is the world’s saltiest sea in the world and, therefore, the only one that does not contain life inside (beyond microorganisms).

What is it and where is it located"

The Dead Sea is famous since its appearance in various passages in the Bible. The main reason is that it has a high amount of salt that helps objects float on its waters.
The place where the Dead Sea is located is between the borders of Israel and Jordan, more than 400 meters below sea level.This fact also makes it the lowest point on Earth.

It is so salty because it does not have a drain, which implies that evaporation is the only way out of the water, leaving only minerals and salts.
