Welcome to Dead Sea, Jordan
The Dead
Sea is both the saltiest body of water in the world, with seven times the salt
of the ocean, and the lowest body of water on Earth, lying 408 meters (1,340
feet) below sea level. The Dead Sea is situated at the mouth of the Jordan River, the lake forms
part of the border between Jordan and Israel. Several smaller streams pour into
the dead sea from the east, so the lake has a heavy inflow of fresh water. But the
area�s extreme heat causes this water to evaporate, and the Dead Sea never
becomes less salty. The high salt content makes the water very buoyant, allowing
swimmers to float on it easily. Some believe that the lake is healthful to bathe
in because of its high mineral content, and several health resorts operate along
the shores.
But the lake�s saltiness kills animal and plant life, and fish carried in by the Jordan River soon die. The Dead Sea is economically important as a source of potash, bromine, gypsum, salt, and other chemical products.
Rocky and barren land surrounds the Dead Sea, and steep
cliffs rise above its eastern and western banks. The Al Lisan peninsula juts
into the lake on its eastern shore, dividing it into a large northern basin,
which accounts for about three-fourths of the lake�s surface area, and a smaller
southern basin. The lake is 80 kilometers (50 miles) long and about 18
kilometers (about 11 miles) across at its widest point.
The lake is closely associated with biblical history. In the Bible the Dead Sea goes by many names, including the Salt Sea, the Sea of Lot, the East Sea, and the Sea of the Plain. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which according to the Old Testament, are believed to lie beneath the lake. Some of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which are ancient manuscripts of the Bible as well as commentaries & hymnbooks, were found in caves near the Dead Sea
