The Bubble Gum Pink Lake in Western Australia


The water in Lake Hillier located in Western Australia looks like bubble gum pink when seen from above. It's currently not entirely known why the water is pink, but one guess is that it's caused by dye created by some organisms or due to red halophilic bacteria in the salt crusts. Reminds me of the toxic soda lakes I've written about previously.
