The Dead Sea

That's me in the Sea! The Dead Sea to be precise. You can't swim in it- you can just float. The minerals in it are so concentrated you are buoyant.

Nothing is alive in it. It cannot sustain life. At 1,300 feet below sea level it is the lowest place on the earth.

There is no outlet for the Dead Sea. The Jordan River empties into it and ends there.
