<div id="ygrps-yiv-925736199">Until and unless the Palestinians acquire statehood, the Dead Sea is out of the<br/>
running for the lowest tripoint, because only two sovereignties are involved.<br/>
That would seem to leave the honor to ILJOSY (Israel-Jordan-Syria)--assuming<br/>
that the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights are ascribed de jure to Syria.  I don&#39;t<br/>
know the precise elevation of the tripoint, but the nearby Sea of Galilee<br/>
is -689 feet (-210 meters).  Unless the tripoint is significantly higher than<br/>
the sea, this should trump the several tripoints in the Caspian Sea at -92 feet<br/>
(-28 meters).<br/>
<br/>
These elevations are from the National Geographic Society, 1981.<br/>

&gt; Ah yes, forgot about that sign you reported at Death<br/>
&gt; Valley, but I enjoyed rereading the tale of this<br/>
&gt; caper.<br/>
&gt; Have we discussed or tried to find the tripoints with<br/>
&gt; highest and lowest elevations?<br/>
&gt; And also what ever happened to the ends of the earth? </span></blockquote></div>
