The Bushnell Banner scopes are crap. Spend the extra money and get a Nikon prostaff...waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, and a lifetime warrentee. On top of that, they are fairly affordable ($120-200).
The Jordan River, in the Middle East, is the lowest river in the world. It ends in the Dead Sea, at a depth of 1,312 feet (400 meters) below sea level. The river is important to Christians, Jews, and Muslims because of its location in an area that is holy to all three.
The lowest point on land not covered by liquid water is the valley under Byrd Glacier, which reaches 2,780 m (9,121 feet) below sea level. It is, however, covered by a thick layer of ice. The lowest point on dry land is the shore of the Dead Sea, shared by Israel and Jordan, 418 m (1,371 feet) below sea level.
