Well written article about dead sea. I was thinking to visit dead sea when I was small because I can float on the sea although I don't know how to swim (awesome ideas for a kid haha) Now only I know the concentration of dead sea is very high until it is life-threatening. Learnt something through your post
Very informative post. It's a shame that the future of the Dead Sea is very bleak. I had the opportunity to visit it last summer and it really is a unique experience/place. Thanks for the content
Another species of life form would spring up to rock the saline rich ground. It seems the spammers are out for your post today. I can see their signature all over the comment section.
Nice piece on the dead sea buddy. I heard a story about the dead sea, that you can lie down afloat it without sinking. Don't know it it's true though :).
P.S: When dead sea stops to exist, I guess that area would be re-named to dead area
Haha this is the most well known thing about the dead sea, you are not teaching me something here! As I stated in the article, the divers needed to add 40kg weights just to get under the water!
Hmm... I sure watched the video for about 4 times, that sea ain't dead. It looks like a different world on it's own. I think I saw some caves or am I wrong...??
Then again, perhaps those fresh water springs will continue to keep at least a few centimeters of life-bearing water, in which I'm sure millions of bacteria, archaea and fungi will happily reside.
Is it conceivable that it will dry totally, or will the hydroscopic properties of the salts prevent this?
Oops forgot to reply! I'm confident that it can and probably will dry up totally. I think you mean hygroscopic, but that wouldn't prevent a drying up - numerous salty, trapped lakes have already vanished this way. I'm no expert though!
Before you were born I went swimming in the dead sea (well floating - its actually quite difficult to swim in as your legs keep surfacing the water). I can remember two things
When I came out I was encrusted in a thin layer of salt which was really irritatingly sticky and I had to walk some way to get it rinsed off
I forgot that I'd shaved that morning - every slight scratch or mark on my face stung like hell.
Happy days..
I think somewhere in the past I vaguely recall being told about you being there! I've always just kinda known either way. I sure don't miss the days where shaving involved multiple cuts to the face... eesh. Then again I still can't grow a proper beard anyway so what do I know

Well yeah just don't drink it or go diving under it and you'll be fine!
wow this is awesome should visit this place once in my lifetime. i wanna go here, am adding this to my bucket list
Yeah that area is probably worth a visit in general, for political intrigue if nothing else =D

Oo good point I should get there before 2050... well, before I die I suppose. It's a slow death.

Haha yeah, but hey it makes it look like people are engaging!
I agree they make for an interesting comment section.
Life thrives anywhere there is an opportunity to do so. I think thats what nature has in its uniqueness!
I feel it should be named dying sea
That actually sounds cooler too, good idea!

Lol.
My friend weighs 200kg, does he still need additional weight to get under the water? :)
I think the last thing he needs is additional weight

That looks like the fresh water springs to me, but could also be caves!
Hmm.. I trust your judgement anyway...
