The Dead Sea is the lowest point of dry land on the planet.
Why it is true
The Dead Sea is located about 430 metres below sea level, on the border between Israel and Jordan. It is also one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, with about 34 per cent salinity, which prevents fish and most forms of life from existing there.
