Dead Sea Swim Raises Environmental Awareness

死海游泳唤醒环保意识
25 swimmers from around the world took part in the first ever Dead Sea swim to raise awareness about the environmental degradation of the historic lake. It took the swimmers approximately 7 hours to cross the 17 kilometres from Jordan to Israel. Located over 400 metres below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest place on earth and is shrinking at an astounding rate. In the past 30 years, the water level on the northern side has dropped as much as 25 metres. The swimmers, who described the swim as very tough, wore face masks and snorkels to protect themselves from the salty water which can be lethal to ingest.

来自全球各地的25名游泳者参加了史上第一次死海游泳活动,意图使人们能够关注这一历史名湖的环境恶化情况。游泳者大约需要七小时游过从约旦到以色列之间的十七千米。死海位于海平面以下400米,是地球上最低的地方,正在以惊人的速度萎缩。在过去的三十年间,死海北部的水平面下降了25米。参加者称游泳很困难,他们戴着面罩和呼吸管防止盐水对身体造成伤害,盐水一旦摄入可能致命。
