Places where seawater and rainwater is pumped away are included. Fully natural places below sea level require a dry climate; otherwise, rain would exceed evaporation and fill the area. All figures are in meters below mean sea level (as locally defined), arranged by depth, lowest first:

Badwater Basin is an endorheic basin in Death Valley National Park, Death Valley, Inyo County, California, noted as the lowest point in North America and the United States, with a depth of 282 ft (86 m) below sea level. [1] [2] Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, is only 84.6 miles (136 km) to the northwest. [3]
It is thought to be the hottest place on Earth during summer. [3] Death Valley's Badwater Basin is the point of lowest elevation in North America, at 282 feet (86 m) below sea level. [1] It is 84.6 miles (136.2 km) east-southeast of Mount Whitney – the highest point in the contiguous United States, with an elevation of 14,505 feet (4,421 m). [4]
Rogers Pass, Montana, which holds the record for the coldest temperature in the Lower 48 at 70 degrees below zero, rises to an elevation of 5,610 feet above sea level and is located on the ...
Death Valley National Park, notorious for its below sea level desert, also has soaring mountains, including Telescope Peak, its highest. This is a list of United States National Parks by elevation. Most of America's national parks are located in mountainous areas. Even among those located close to the ocean, not all are flat.
These island countries also have the smallest range between their lowest (sea level) and highest points, and are very sensitive to changes in sea level. The highest and lowest points in China constitute the greatest elevation range within any single country at 9,002 metres (29,534 ft).
