Lowest elevation in metres below sea level: the item’s own elevation or its lowest point’s (Wikidata P2044, P1589), else a published survey figure. Lake levels change: the Dead Sea’s shore falls by about a metre a year. Depressions and lakes whose lowest point is 5 m or more below sea level, on land (sea-floor deeps and Antarctica’s subglacial trenches are out); a lake counts by its surface level, and a lowest point that is its own item is folded into its depression (Badwater Basin into Death Valley).
