That is awesome. Not to derail, but i would love to see some of your satellite imagery of the area around Sandy Island. It was in between Australia and New Zealand, 23 km long and now it is gone from google maps and Earth.

Ill try and dig up coordinates..

Always good to see people pouring over satelitte imagery OP!

Here's a quick post to tie this subtopic up.

Why is it an ecological disaster? The Dead Sea is dead. When the Dead sea lost its outlet, now that was an ecological disaster, but it happened in pre-history.

Kinda cool though. Now anyone can walk across the Dead Sea just like the good lord himself.

You can dang near do it anyway, with the salinity as high as it is. The amount of salt causes the water to be considerably denser than normal sea water. People who swim in it for the first time are usually pretty amazed at how well they float.

I was thinking more like strolling along the bloody hi-way that runs along the Jordanian border through those saltworks. That's crossing a sea like a boss, in a four wheel motor.
