The large-scale deposits of salt around the Dead Sea, known as salt giants, are built up as the lake's highly saline water evaporates, and a new study of their formation has revealed some of the ...
The discovery of salt giants in the Dead Sea—formed from a perfect mixture of conditions in the terminal lake—presents a prime opportunity to study how these geological formations coalesce.
The Dead Sea is a confluence of extraordinary conditions: the lowest point on Earth's surface, with one of the world's highest salinities. The high concentration of salt gives it a correspondingly ...

The Dead Sea isn’t just the saltiest body of water on Earth—it’s a living laboratory for the formation of giant underground salt deposits. Researchers are unraveling how evaporation, temperature ...
In an interdisciplinary project coordinated by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ), researchers have discovered meter-high salt chimneys on the floor of the Dead Sea. Chimney-like ...
