24 Famous places to visit before they disappear

Dead Sea, Jordan/Israel/Palestine

Found in the Middle East, the Dead Sea holds several impressive primacies. It is Earth’s lowest-elevation spot on land, one of the world’s first health resorts, the world´s deepest hypersaline lake and one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water. But to enjoy a bath in it, you shouldn’t postpone the trip. Since 1930, the Dead Sea has shrunken by half, currently recessing by a rate of 1 meter (3 feet) every year.
