9. The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea is not an ocean, but is a rather large lake found in Israel. It is one of the saltiest bodies of water on the planet and it is so salty that nothing can live here, asides from small numbers of microbe. The dearth of life in the lake is how it got its name.

Such is the salinity of the Dead Sea that the water is denser than any person, and this means that we will always float on the lake. The lake is a popular tourist attraction and also attracts people that are attracted to the lakes alleged health benefits.
