10 natural wonders to see before they disappear

THE DEAD SEA
In the last four decades, the Dead Sea has shrunk by a third and sunk 80 feet --13 inches per year! -- stranding formerly seaside resorts and restaurants nearly a mile from shore.
The Jordan River is the lake's sole source, and as surrounding countries increasingly tap its waters, little reaches the Dead Sea, which could disappear within 50 years. Further pressure is put on the sea by the cosmetic companies and potash producers who drain it for minerals.
