What makes the sight of the oarfish particularly interesting is that they typically live in the deep sea, dwelling anywhere between 700 and 3,280 feet below the surface, USA TODAY reported. They ...
Since 1930, when its surface was 1,050 km 2 (410 sq mi) and its level was 390 m (1,280 ft) below sea level, the Dead Sea has been monitored continuously. The Dead Sea has been rapidly shrinking since the 1960s because of diversion of incoming water from the Jordan River to the north [ 71 ] as part of the National Water Carrier scheme, [ 72 ...
A rarely seen deep sea fish resembling a serpent was found floating dead on the ocean surface off the San Diego coast and was brought ashore for study, marine experts said. The silvery, 12-foot ...
Because of its high salt concentration, the lake water is unusually dense, and most people can float more easily than in other bodies of water, particularly in Gunnison Bay, the saltier north arm of the lake. [40] Water levels have been recorded since 1875, [2] averaging about 4,200 feet (1,300 m) above sea level. Since the Great Salt Lake is a ...

The stunning new pictures released by NASA, taken about 13 months apart by the Landsat 8 satellite, show how the water levels on Lake Mead have dropped, revealing more and more dry land. Lake Mead ...
It is the lowest freshwater lake on Earth and the second-lowest lake in the world (after the Dead Sea, a salt lake), [3] with its elevation fluctuating between 215 and 209 metres (705 and 686 ft) below sea level (depending on rainfall). [4] It is approximately 53 km (33 mi) in circumference, about 21 km (13 mi) long, and 13 km (8.1 mi) wide.
The salt content of the water (180 g/L) [3] gives it a salinity about half of that of the Dead Sea (300-400 ppt), allowing bathers to float easily. The lake falls within the Lanigan-Manitou Sub-basin of the Upper Qu'Appelle watershed. [5] There is no fishing as the high salt content of the water supports little other than brine shrimp.
