The sea is called the Dead Sea, Sea of Arabah, Sea of Death, and Salt Sea. Its surface and shores are 1,401 ft below sea level, Earth's lowest elevation on land, the deepest hyper-saline lake in the world. It is 9.6 times as salty as the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment in which animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 31 miles long and 9 miles wide at its widest point.
