Lake Hillier why is it pink?

We learned from geography classes that water bodies are marked with blue on the map.But nature likes to mess with us and create oddities, similar to lake hillier in Western Australia. With its mere 600 meters in length like hillier is not one that will impress you by its size, nor will they impress you by its diverse fishes. That inhabit it like Helios delights your eye with its pink color, moreover it lies just next to the Pacific Ocean. Thus, if you watch it from above, the contrast between the mellow pink of the lake and the blue of the ocean is striking. The reason of its unique color is still a topic that is not fully understood by scientists. Although most suspect it has to do with the presence of Dunaliella salina microalgae. The dunaliella salina produces carotenoids, a pigment found in carrots as well. But the presence of halophilic bacteria in the salt crust could be another explanation. A reaction between the salt and the sodium bicarbonate that is found in the water may cau...
