And you thought swimming down south was salty!

The saltiest body of water on Earth is found in Antarctica! Its called Don Juan Pond, named after the people who first found it. Apparently Don Juan Pond is 18 times saltier than the ocean and even 10 times saltier than the Dead Sea! It's so salty that even at -30 degrees Celsius it remains unfrozen. Even at -50 degrees Celsius it still isn't completely frozen over.
