Beautiful Pink Lakes

The photograph depicts Lake Hillier, one of the captivating pink lakes found in Australia, which adds a striking burst of vibrant color to the country’s landscape. Recent studies have revealed that the pink hue of these lakes results from a distinctive combination of algae, halobacteria, and other microorganisms in the water.

These lakes are known for their high salt content, reminiscent of the Dead Sea. While Lake Hillier has temporarily lost its pinkish coloration, scientists are exploring potential methods to restore and revive its unique hue.
