In the last four decades, the Dead Sea has shrunk by a third and sunk 80 feet, 13 inches per year!The Dead Sea is the lowest spot on earth (1,312 feet below sea level), has 10 times more saline than seawater (so humans float like corks), and is believed to contain therapeutic minerals. But we must hurry, The Jordan River is the lake's sole source, and as surrounding countries increasingly tap its waters, little reaches the Dead Sea, which could disappear within 50 years. Further pressure is put on the sea by the cosmetic companies and potash producers who drain it for minerals.
Seaside resorts and restaurants nearly a mile from shore, accommodate all visitors.

This magnificent rain forest in Peru's Madre de Dios region is one of the greatest, a single tree can create as much as $1 million worth of furniture.
