SCIENCE Is There Life in the Dead Sea? What Science Has Found
No fish. No seaweed. Yet under certain conditions, halophilic archaea and the microalga Dunaliella emerge in concentrations visible from the shore as a reddish bloom — one of Earth's most extreme living systems.
READ THE SCIENCE26+ minerals. One sea.
At 439 meters below sea level, Dead Sea water concentrates minerals at ratios exceeding ocean water by factors of 15 to 50. Four decades of peer-reviewed research document their effects.

🇬🇧 We had imagined the Dead Sea a little differently... 😅
Instead of sunshine and effortlessly floating in the water, we got one thing: rain. Lots of rain. 🌧️
Still, it was incredible to stand at such a unique place – the lowest point on Earth. And as if that wasn’t unusual enough, we even came across a pink lake on the way 😍
But at some point, the weather had clearly had enough of us – or maybe we had had enough of the weather. 😂
On top of that, tensions in the region were rising, and more and more rockets were flying overhead. We weren’t sure how long the border to Iraq would remain open, and we definitely wanted to leave the Arabian Peninsula in time.
So we started the bikes, put on our wet riding gear, and kept moving 🏍️🌧️
Next stop: Iraq 😃 🇮🇶

🇩🇪 Eigentlich hatten wir uns das Tote Meer etwas anders vorgestellt... 😅
Statt strahlendem Sonnenschein und entspannter Schwerelosigkeit auf dem Wasser gab es vor allem eines: Regen. Viel Regen. 🌧️
Trotzdem war es beeindruckend, an diesem verrückten Ort zu stehen – am tiefsten Punkt der Erde. Und als wäre das nicht schon ungewöhnlich genug, haben wir unterwegs sogar noch einen pinken See entdeckt 💗
Aber irgendwann hatte das Wetter offenbar genug von uns – oder wir vom Wetter. 😂
Dazu kam, dass in der Region die Spannungen zunahmen und immer mehr Raketen unterwegs waren. Wir waren uns nicht sicher, wie lange die Grenze zum Irak noch geöffnet bleiben würde und wollten die Arabische Halbinsel auf jeden Fall rechtzeitig verlassen.
Also haben wir die Motorräder gestartet, die nassen Klamotten angezogen und sind weitergezogen. 🏍️🌧️
Nächster Halt: Irak 😃🇮🇶

מכירים.ות את הסיפור על אשת לוט שהפכה לנציב מלח? איך נוצר בכלל נציב מלח?🧂🪨
מדי שנה פרופ` שמוליק מרקו ופרופ` אלון זיו מובילים סיור באיזור ים המלח במסגרת הקורס "מבנים גיאולוגיים". הסטודנטים והסטודנטיות לומדים בקורס על תופעות גיאולוגיות כמו מחדרי מלח, קימוטים, סדקים והעתקים, שיכולים להיות בגודל של סנטימטרים ועד עשרות קילומטרים! 🔬⛰️
במהלך הסיור הם מבצעים מדידות של מבנים גיאולוגיים בשטח, לומדים לזהות אותם ולנתח את ההיסטוריה שלהם 🕰️
מסתבר שגיאולוגיה והיסטוריה משלימות אחת את השנייה 😉
Are you familiar with the story about Lot`s wife? How does a salt pillar form? 🧂🪨
Every year, prof. Shmulik Marco and prof. Alon Ziv lead a feild trip to the dead sea area, as part of the "Structural Geology" course.
During the course, students learn about geological phenomena such as salt intrusions, folds, fractures and faults, in a scale that ranges from a few centimeters to tens of kilometers! 🔬⛰️
During the feild trip, students took measurements of such structures, learned to identify them and tell their history 🕰️
Turns out that history and Geology complete each other 😉
