The Dead Sea, Jordan:
Have you ever dived in a sea which is a thousand feet deep and still you can never drown in it, in fact you will float like a ship here without any lifejacket or any other support. The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth as it is 1,312 feet below the sea level and its water is 10 times heavier than the normal seawater that is because of the higher density of the minerals and salt in it. There is no marine life living in this sea and that is precisely why it is called the Dead Sea. The only source of water to this reservoir is the Jordan River but as more and more water is tapped out from the river for the use of the population living close to it, it is estimated that the Dead Sea will disappear by 2030.

The Maldives:
The jewel of the Indian Ocean is currently one of the most visited tourist destination of Asia. With its white sandy beaches, turquoise waters and exotic marine life it is a perfect place for snorkeling, scuba diving and for many surfing. But unfortunately it is also the lowest country of the world a mere 8 feet above the sea level. With the glaciers fast melting and the sea level rising there is not much of a hope for this beautiful tropical paradise. It is believed that most of its islands and atolls will disappear by 2030 and the whole of Maldives will disappear in 2050.
