Holy Land: Sweet Water, Bitter Sea

From the ruins of ancient Masada, to the strange, salty stalactites of the Dead Sea, the Holy Land is a place of extremes. Near the spot where the Bible says the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah perished, naturalists explore a wilderness where little has changed. Journeythrough a land of violent contrasts. Travel from the bare, sun-baked mountains of Judea to the deep blue Dead Sea, so saturated with salt that nothing can live in its water. But amazingly, we also uncover the resourceful creatures that thrive on the sea's barren shores.
