Most of the planet’s surface is either at or below sea level, which isn’t surprising, given that 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. In fact, many of the lowest places on Earth are on the surface of lakes. However, many places on the list have fluctuating depths, thanks to intermittent flooding, rainfall, and evaporation. Some of these points even disappear underwater at times, leading to seasonal fluctuations. Just how low can you go on the surface of the Earth? Below, explore the planet’s 10 lowest points. (All measures are listed below sea level.)
