The highest peak in the world, Mount Everest, which is 29,035 feet (8.850 metres) high; the lowest place on the Earth's land surface, the Dead Sea, which averages about 1,312 feet (400 metres) below sea level; and the world's deepest continental trough, occupied by Lake Baikal... |

| which is 5,315 feet (1.620 metres) deep and whose bottom lies at 3,822 feet (1,165 metres) below sea level, are all located in Asia. |
