Which lake has the saltiest water among large lakes?

Quick Answer

The Dead Sea is the saltiest large lake on Earth, with salinity around 34%, far saltier than the ocean.

The Full Story

The Dead Sea, bordered by Jordan and Israel/Palestine, is famous for its extreme salinity. At roughly 34% salinity, it is far saltier than normal seawater, which averages about 3.5%. Because of this, very few organisms can survive in it, and people float easily in the dense water. Although called a sea, it is actually a hypersaline lake.
