The Dead
Sea is the saltiest body of water in
the world, with almost six times more salt than
the ocean. At more than 1,300 feet below sea
level, it is also the lowest point on earth. |
The Sea of Galilee
lies in the Jordan Plain of
northern Israel, about 30 miles from the
Mediterranean. It is fed by the Jordan River,
which flows through it from north to south. It
was on its shores where Jesus performed the
miracle of feeding a multitude with a few loaves
of bread and a basket of fish. |
