Salton Sea, USA
From series “Amazing Land Areas Below the Sea Level”Deepness: 69 meters.
During a trip through the USA, one can still visit a strange valley - the Salton Sea, which is called Salton Sea. This landmark of natural origin, located in the state of Mexico, is required by the fans of the same series and the supporters of active recreation in unusual areas. The Maar Coast is 69 meters lower than the world's ocean level. The Valley is the second-most-located location on the territory of the United States, and is located only in the Valley of Death.
Three rivers flow into the tiny 'sea'. The depth of the sea depends directly on the water drain of the rivers. Therefore, the amount of waterless land can change several times during the year. Salton Sea has been an irreplaceable source of water for the nearby agricultural land for several years. The water removal for irrigation influences the level of the water as well.
