Salton Sea
The Salton Sea is an inland saline lake located in the Sonoran Desert of extreme southeastern California, in USA. It’s one of the Earth’s Lowest Elevations at -227 ft (-69 m) below the sea level.
The road to the lake is asphalted. It’s called California State Route 86, built in 1964. It’s one of the lowest roads in the world. The lake has an extremely high salt content and is surrounded by salt flats which can easily be broken using one's hand. It was formed between 1905 and 1907 when the Colorado River burst through poorly built irrigation controls south of Yuma, Arizona.
