JERUSALEM, June 26 (Xinhua) -- The Dead Sea, one of the world-renowned tourist attractions, is also one of the natural wonders created by Mother Nature.
Amazingly beautiful patterns of salt formations can be seen on the shores of the southern part of Dead Sea, one of the saltiest bodies of water on earth. The formations contain sedimentary evaporite minerals, mainly rock salt, left by fast evaporation of the salty water.
