====Lowest points attainable by transportation====
* The '''lowest point accessible''':
** '''by road''', excluding roads in mines, is any of the roads alongside the [[Dead Sea]] in [[Israel]], [[Palestine]] and [[Jordan]], which are the lowest on Earth at {{cvt|418|m|0}} below sea level.
*** The '''lowest undersea highway tunnel''' is the [[Ryfast]] tunnel in [[Norway]], at {{cvt|292|m|0}} below sea level.
** '''by train''', excluding tracks in mines, is located in the [[Seikan Tunnel]] in [[Japan]], at {{cvt|240|m|0}} below sea level. For comparison, the undersea [[Channel Tunnel]] between England and France reaches a depth of {{cvt|115|m|0}} below sea level.
** '''by ship''', is located in the [[Indian Ocean]], about {{cvt|1200|km|mi}} southwest of India, the [[Indian Ocean Geoid Low]], about {{cvt|106|m|0}} below the [[global mean sea level]].<ref name="Geoid">{{cite journal |last1=Sreejith |first1=K.M. |last2=Rajesh |first2=S. |last3=Majumdar |first3=T.J. |last4=Srinivasa Rao |first4=G. |last5=Radhakrishna |first5=M. |last6=Krishna |first6=K.S. |last7=Rajawat |first7=A.S. |title=High-resolution residual geoid and gravity anomaly data of the northern Indian Ocean – An input to geological understanding |journal=Journal of Asian Earth Sciences |date=January 2013 |volume=62 |pages=616–626 |doi=10.1016/j.jseaes.2012.11.010|bibcode=2013JAESc..62..616S }}</ref>
** Some mines have roads accessible from outside or rail tracks, located more than two thousand metres below sea level, for example in some [[South Africa]]n gold mines.
* The '''lowest [[railroad station]]''' was formerly the Japanese [[Yoshioka-Kaitei Station]], at {{cvt|150|m|0}} below sea level, but it closed in 2014. The lowest railroad station not inside a tunnel is {{cvt|120|m|0}} below sea level, at [[Beit She'an railway station]] in [[Israel]].{{Citation needed|date=March 2020}}
* The '''[[List of lowest airports|lowest airfield]]''' is the [[Bar Yehuda Airfield]], near [[Masada]], [[Israel]], at {{cvt|378|m|0}} below sea level.
* The '''lowest international airport''' is [[Atyrau Airport]], near [[Atyrau]], [[Kazakhstan]], at {{cvt|22|m|0}} below sea level, in the basin of the [[Caspian Sea]].
* The '''lowest major city''' is [[Baku]], [[Azerbaijan]], located {{cvt|28|m}} below sea level, which makes it the lowest-lying national capital in the world and also the largest city in the world located below sea level.
