Who will be the last one to visit?
Change before all our eyes, Many do not
See movement

Sign marking what used to be the water level:
Many resorts and roads used to be built right along the coast of the Dead Sea, but now it is difficult to imagine a world where that was the case. It is easy to accept things how they are now, but strange to realize that things change. See movement, realize what changes are happening and act.
