The Dead Sea is not a sea, but a 50-mile long by 11-mile wide salt lake between Israel and Jordan. We call it a sea because it is salty like a sea or the ocean.

The Dead Sea is the lowest body of water on Earth, nearly one-quarter mile below sea level. Water from the Jordan River flows in, but because the Dead Sea is lower than the land around it, no water can drain out. The hot desert sun evaporates the water about as fast as it flows in from the river, leaving behind salt and other minerals from the Jordan.

People can easily float on the surface of Dead Sea because it about seven times saltier than the ocean. When they get out of the water, they have a salty crust left on their skin. Any fish carried in from the Jordan die instantly when they reach the Dead Sea.

The Dead Sea is the saltiest lake in the world. The chemical character of its brine evolved along with the lake and its basin. The brine holds a unique assemblage of salts: Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Bromine, Chlorine, Sulfate, Carbonate and Silicate.
