There is a unique place in the world where people can float on the water with almost no effort. This place is the Dead Sea, a famous salt lake located between Israel and Jordan.
The reason people float so easily there is the extremely high salt concentration in the water. The Dead Sea contains about 34% salt, which is several times saltier than the ocean. Because of this, the water becomes much denser, making the human body naturally float on the surface.
This is why it is almost impossible to sink in this lake. Many visitors simply lie back in the water and float effortlessly. Some tourists even read books or newspapers while floating.
Another interesting fact is that the Dead Sea is also one of the lowest places on Earth, located about 430 meters below sea level.
In addition, the mineral-rich mud from the lake is widely used in skincare and spa treatments, which attracts tourists from all around the world.
