The Pink Lake

There are many weird places all around the earth. Some are very marvelous, some are historic and some are very creative. However, this is a different one. It is a pink lake found in Australia. Obviously, girls would love this. You will be able to see its difference with the ocean very near to it.

Lake Hillier is a pink-hued lake on Middle Island, the biggest of the islands and islets that make up the Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia. From over the lake shows up a strong air pocket gum pink. It is such a noteworthy recognizing highlight of the archipelago that air travelers regularly crane their necks to take a look of it.

The lake is around 600 meters in length, and is encompassed by an edge of sand and a thick forest of paperbark and eucalyptus trees. A restricted piece of sand hills secured by vegetation divides it toward the north from the Southern Ocean.

Not at all like other pink lakes on the planet like the one in Retba and the salt lakes at San Francisco Bay, the pink shading of Lake Hillier has not been conclusively demonstrated, in spite of the fact that it is guessed that the shading could emerge from a color made by the life forms Dunaliella salina and Halobacteria. An alternate theory is that the pink shading is because of red halophilic microscopic organisms in the salt coverings. That the shading is not a trap of light can be demonstrated by taking water from the lake in a compartment – the pink shading can be discovered to be changeless.

One of the first proof of Middle Island's pink lake goes back to the diaries of Matthew Flinders, a British guide and hydrographer in 1802. Flinders had climbed Middle Island's most elevated top (now known as Flinders Peak) to overview the encompassing waters when he went over this amazing pink lake.
