Boiling occurs when the vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure. Pure water boils at 1000C at a pressure of 1 bar (1 atmosphere). At lower pressures for example up a mountain at 10000ft 3000m water boils at just under 900C. As you go higher it gets lower still.

When salts are dissolved in water the boiling point rises, this phenomenon is termed elevation of the boiling point.
