Highest and Lowest Points in 20 Popular Countries
WanderLearn with Francis Tapon, author of The Hidden Europe and Hike Own Your Own Hike
When I traveled to all 54 African countries, I attempted to climb the tallest peak in each country. By 2018, I had done 50 of them.
There was only one country’s lowest point that intrigued me: Djibouti.
That’s because the lowest point in Djibouti is the lowest on the African continent. Africa’s lowest point is Lake Assal, which is 155 meters below sea level (509 ft for Americans who still haven’t learned the superior metric system).
Lake Assal is always an inferno. The upside is that the salt lake, the saltiest on Earth, provides a way to cool off, even if you can’t swim. You’re guaranteed to float, thanks to the saline water.
I’ve also been to North America’s lowest point: Badwater, Death Valley. I visited in December, which had pleasant temperatures.
The highest point I’ve ever climbed was Kilimanjaro (nearly 5,900 meters). I did it twice and vomited on the summit each time.
All this talk about highs and lows may kindle your curiosity about other high and low points across the planet. Scroll through the infographic below to check out the highest and lowest points of 20 popular countries.
