As we boarded the boat and set sail across the Sea of Galilee our guide drew a contrast between the Sea of Galilee and the Dead Sea. The Sea of Galilee draws its water from the mountains just north of it and it is filled with sweet clear water and an abundance of fish. It then flows south through the Jordan River and empties into the Dead Sea. There is no outlet in the Dead Sea. Toe only may for water to escape from it is by evaporation. As its name suggests the Dead Sea has no life in it at ail.
