We invite you to look at the world from the lowest points of the Earth - and there are such places on every continent, they are located much below sea level. In this collection I will tell you about seven such places.
There are many places on the planet where you are standing on dry land, while the level of the world's oceans suggests that you are actually submerged under water. Let's start with the Dead Sea in Asia. It is also called Salty sea, it is located between Palestine, Israel and Jordan. Its shores and surface are located at 422 meters below sea level. This is the lowest landmass on Earth 
Next comes Lake Assal in Africa, it is located in Djibouti, Ethiopia. The lake lies 155 meters below sea level in the Afar Lowland. This is the lowest landmass in Africa and the second on Earth after the Dead Sea. The water here is one of the saltiest in the world - 34.8% salt concentration, which is higher than the concentration in the Dead Sea and ten times the salinity level in the ocean
There is a place in Antarctica called the Vestfold Hills, which is located 50 meters below sea level. For your information, the most deep place on Earth, not covered by liquid water - the Bentley Deep in Antarctica with a depth of 2555 meters below sea level. The depression is covered with a huge layer of ice. The deepest place on Earth covered with liquid water is the Mariana Trench. 
There are similar places in North America. Death Valley is a desert located in the southwestern United States. Located within the Mojave Desert, the intermontane trench is the lowest, driest, and hottest place in the Americas. The site called Badwater in Death Valley is the lowest place in the United States, 86 meters below sea level. Surprisingly, this point is only 76 miles east of Mount Whitney, the highest point at 4,422 meters. Death Valley is also considered to be home to some of the hottest temperatures on Earth, with Furnace Creek reaching 56.7°C on July 13, 1913. Only higher is the world record of 58°, recorded in Libya on September 13, 1922
IN South America Laguna Del Carbon is located with a depth of 105 meters below sea level. Laguna del Carbon (Coal Lagoon) is salt lake and is located in Argentina. It is the lowest point in the Western and Southern Hemispheres and the seventh lowest point on Earth. Pay attention to the quality of the road surface in the Argentine desert...
The lowest point in Europe is the Caspian Sea. Its basin area is 371,000 km2, which is about 10 percent of the world's closed water basin area. The ancient inhabitants considered the Caspian Sea an ocean, probably due to its salinity and apparent immensity. The sea is a closed lake, and the water in it is salty, with an average salinity of 1.2%. This is the lowest place in Europe with a depth of 28 meters below the level 
We visited each of the continents, only Australia remained. There is such a place here too - Lake Eyre is the lowest point in Australia at a depth of 15 meters below sea level in the very center of the huge Eyre Basin, the big lake Australia 
It is difficult to determine from photographs, but almost everywhere the ocean was at least 20 meters higher than the point where the photographer stood... Isn’t it amazing that such places exist on Earth?
The lowest landmass on Earth
When we talk about the highest places on the planet, we clearly imagine the peaks of the largest mountain ranges, reaching a height of more than 8 kilometers above sea level. But not everything is so obvious when it comes to the lowest places on Earth. What are they and how high are they located? However, many people know that these particular areas of land are located so low that even the sea level will rise above them. And only the unique geographical location and geological characteristics allow these places not to be absorbed by the waters of the world's oceans. Let's take a look at some of them, the lowest on their continent.
View of the Dead Sea from space
Let's start with Dead Sea V Asia. It is also called the Salt Sea. It is located between Palestine, Israel and Jordan. Its shores and surface are 422 meters below sea level. This is the lowest landmass on Earth.

Followed by Lake Assal V Africa, it is located in Djibouti, Ethiopia. The lake lies 155 meters below sea level in a lowland Afar. This is the lowest landmass in Africa and the second on Earth after the Dead Sea. The water here is one of the saltiest in the world - 34.8% salt concentration, which is higher than the concentration in the Dead Sea and ten times the salinity level in the ocean.
Lake Assal
IN Antarctica there's a place called Westfold Hills, which is located at a depth of 50 meters below sea level. By the way, the deepest place on Earth not covered by liquid water is Bentley's depression V Antarctica with a depth of 2555 meters below sea level. The depression is covered with a huge layer of ice. The deepest place on Earth covered with liquid water is Mariana Trench V Pacific Ocean.

There are similar places in North America. Death Valley- a desert located in the southwestern United States. This intermountain basin is the lowest, driest, and hottest place in the Americas. The area called Badwater in Death Valley - the lowest place in the United States, 86 meters below sea level. Surprisingly, this point is only 76 miles east of Mount Whitney, the highest point at 4,422 meters. Death Valley is also considered to be the site where one of the highest temperatures on Earth was recorded, on July 13, 1913. locality Furnace Creek temperature rose to 56.7 degrees C. Only higher is the world record of 58 degrees, recorded in Libya on September 13, 1922.

IN South America located Laguna del Carbon (Coal Lagoon) with a depth of 105 meters below sea level. It is a salt lake and is located in Argentina. It is the lowest point in the Western and Southern Hemispheres and the seventh lowest point on Earth. Let's pay tribute to the quality of the road surface in the Argentine desert...

Lowest point Europe - Caspian Sea. Its basin area is 371,000 km2, which is about 10 percent of the world's closed water basin area. The ancient inhabitants considered the Caspian Sea an ocean, probably due to its salinity and apparent immensity. The sea is a closed lake, and the water in it is salty, with an average salinity of 1.2%. This is the lowest place in Europe - 28 meters below sea level.

Incredible facts
Imagine living in such a remote place that mail comes to you once a year or you have reached the top of the most high place on the ground.
There are places that are unique in their kind, difficult to reach, and famous for their extreme temperatures, altitude, depth and other characteristics.
Highest point on the ground
Everest, at an altitude of 8848 m, is known as highest peak on Earth, and this is true. However, it still depends on how you look at it. Technically, Everest's rocky peak is the highest piece of land above sea level. But since the Earth is not a perfect sphere, some lower points are actually "higher" in space. Mount Everest is less close to the moon and stars than another mountain that is relatively obscure and is - Chimborazo volcano in Ecuador. Its height is 6268 m, and although it is not as tall as Everest, it is actually closer to outer space due to the uneven shape of the Earth.
The highest point that can be reached by transport
In Tibet, road Semo La, whose height is 5,565 m, will take you through incredible beautiful view and a dangerous pass. It is believed that the road Marsimic La is the highest pass in the world, but it all depends on which road can be considered accessible. Along the Semo La road you can reach vehicle. Authorities believe that there are other higher and more distant roads, but they have not yet been documented.
The most remote island on Earth
The most remote inhabited archipelago in the world is considered Tristan da Cunha, which is located in the South Atlantic Ocean. His main island so small that it has no runway. The island is home to about 300 people sharing only 8 surnames, which is why residents of the country suffer from hereditary diseases such as asthma and glaucoma. The island was annexed by Britain in 1800 and has a British postal code. And although residents can order goods online, delivery of goods takes a very long time. The island settlement itself is located 3,200 km from the nearest continent.
Deepest point in the ocean
Mariana Trench, southwest of Guam in the Pacific Ocean, is the deepest point in the world's oceans. Its depth is 10,924 meters. If Mount Everest were placed in a trench, it would be covered by more than 1 mile of water. The pressure at the bottom of the trench is a thousand times stronger than at sea level. In 1960, the US Navy sent two naval officers to the bottom of the trench in the bathyscaphe Trieste. They were able to observe fish, shrimp and other creatures living on the ocean floor.
Lowest point on Earth
Dead Sea is the lowest piece of land that is below sea level, being 423 m. On the border of Jordan and Israel, the road around the Dead Sea is also the lowest road on Earth. Due to its extreme salinity, the Dead Sea is considered literally dead, as no creature can live there.
The coldest, driest and wettest place on Earth
Antarctica- This is a place of continuous extremes. It is not inhabited by people all year round because it is too cold here. In 1983, scientists recorded the lowest air temperature on Earth and it was 89.2 degrees below zero. Antarctica is also considered the wettest place and at the same time the driest place on Earth. It is considered the wettest not because of rain, but simply because it is 98 percent covered in ice, and is technically very wet. However, since it is the coldest place on Earth, it experiences the least amount of precipitation - less than 5 cm per year, which makes Antarctica practically a desert.
Largest net elevation difference on Earth
Mount Thor V national park Auyuittuq on Baffin Island in the province of Nunavut in Canada represents 1.2 km of net vertical elevation change. Mount Thor is the most famous peak in Canada and it is made of pure granite. It is one of the favorite peaks for thrill-seekers and climbers.
The deepest ice on Earth
Bentley's Hollow in Antarctica, this is a phenomenally thick layer of ice, whose depth is 2,555 m. This is the lowest point on Earth not covered by an ocean. The Bentley Deep is the size of Mexico and is technically covered with water (ice), which is why the Dead Sea is still considered the lowest point on Earth.
The hottest place on Earth
Death Valley known for its heat, but the hottest place that was officially recorded was the city El Azizia. In 1922, the air temperature here reached 57.7 °C. The record high temperature in Death Valley is 56.7°C.
