The body of water that is the lowest point on Earth's surface is the Dead Sea. Situated between Israel and Jordan, it is approximately 1,410 feet (430 meters) below sea level. The Dead Sea is known for its high salinity, making it impossible for most aquatic life to thrive, which is why it's called "Dead." The mineral-rich waters attract numerous visitors for therapeutic and recreational purposes, and the area's unique geological and historical significance adds to its allure.
