3 The dead Sea,Israel is the lowest point on Earth(320 meters under the sea level)  and the saltest lake on the Earth. It is actually 8 times salter than  the ocean, despite the Jordan river flowing inside. Therefore, there is no form of wildlife present inside, and is not possible to sail. Swimming, on the contrary, is very easy, there is no effort needed for that. You can simply sit on the salt water and read your paper.
