Description
This photograph of the Dead Sea was taken from The Kalia Beach Restaurant. This is the northern section of the Dead Sea and only about a 25 minute drive from Jerusalem, Israel. It is a beautiful area with a lot of visitors from Israel and tourists from all over the world. The Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth at approximately 1,000 feet below sea level and is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. It is actually a lake and it's main tributary is the Jordan River. However, as the Jordan River's water is diverted at greater levels and the lake's water is naturally absorbed its' water level is declining. The lowest place on earth attracts people from all over the world for the health benefits it affords and for the floating experience one gets when going into the water as you cannot sink in the Dead Sea because of the high salt content.
