Berlin, Germany.
Float in the Dead Sea, Middle East
The world’s lowest land point, at 420m below sea level, and its saltiest body of water – about eight times saltier than the ocean – the Dead Sea is like nowhere else on the planet. And thanks to 34% salinity, sinking is all-but impossible. In fact, it’s difficult to swim at all and most people simply bob on the surface with a good book, before checking into the local spas for a mineral-rich mud bath.
The Dead Sea is located between Israel, the West Bank and Jordan.
