Sunbathers afloat at the beach resort of Ein Bokek, on the Israeli side of the Dead Sea. A favorite pastime here is floating on one's back in the water to experience the lake's hyper-saline buoyancy. Dead Sea water is ten times saltier than sea water, and more dense than the human body. Thus feet, arms and head float effortlessly.
