The lowest point on Earth's surface is found at the Dead Sea, which is situated between Jordan and Israel. The surface of the Dead Sea is about 430 meters (1,411 feet) below sea level, making it the deepest hypersaline lake in the world. This unique geographic feature is known for its extremely high salinity, which prevents most aquatic life from thriving, hence the name "Dead Sea." The surrounding area draws tourists for its therapeutic mud, mineral-rich waters, and historical significance.
