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.

Salton Sea, USA 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.

The valley is framed by the incredibly beautiful mountain massifs, including the legendary chocolate mountains, as well as San Jasinto mountains. The ecosystem of the valley is unique. The scientists have found that this site was located a few million years ago under the water of the world's oceans. The history of the formation of the salt lake on the bottom of the valley is very interesting. He has formed a century ago, after the strange coincidence of circumstances. At the beginning of the 20th century irrigation was wrongly organized in this area, so the river bed from the Colorado River was directed to the valley for two years. In only a few months has the huge lake with the area of ​​1 000 q. Km and depth of 16 meters on the bottom of the depression. Next - Depression Akchakaya
