Two weeks ago we visited Dead Sea. It's called "dead"
sea because of its high salinity inhibits
large organisms, such as fish.
It's one of the world's saltiest water bodies. 34.2%
salinity creates high buoyancy so you can see people hold of stuffs while
floating on the sea surface.
Due to lack of water input and high evaporation, sea level
of dead sea decreases at rate of 1 meter per year. You can image what happened
to those fashion hotels build twenty years ago along the coastal line.
It's really fun floating on it.
Although you would never
want to let the water get on your face.
Taste it is also not a good idea, it's not bitter, it's very
very bitter...
Along the coast you can find halite everywhere. Also the salt crystallize on surface of
everything.
Any other question?
