Pair of sinkholes at the Dead Sea
by Djamil Al-Halbouni, GEOMAR - Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Kiel, Germany
Sinkholes in the mud-flat of the Dead Sea are generally wide and flat. Here we see a pair of them with remnants of salt in the centre. The image is taken by a drone from around 100 m altitude. A ground control marker (1x1 m) is seen between both sinkholes. Do you recognize where the next sinkhole will form?
