Group Tries To Swim Across The Dead Sea

(15 Nov 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4066066 A group is attempting the first swim on record across the Dead Sea from Jordan to Israel in a seven-hour effort to raise awareness of the famous body of water's environmental deterioration. The 25 swimmers, hailing from Israel, the Palestinian territories, South Africa, England, Denmark, Spain and New Zealand started the journey at dawn Tuesday. The swimmers are backed by support vessels stocked with medicine, water and food. They are wearing specially designed masks to protect them from the caustic water, heavy with salt and minerals, from burning their eyes and causing life-threatening injury if swallowed. The swim was organized to raise awareness of "the catastrophe" of the Dead Sea, now at one-third of its historic size, said Mira Edelstein, Jordan River project manager at EcoPeace which helped organise the event.
