Australia's Bubblegum-Pink Lake

18:00 GMT 20.02.2017 (Updated: 19:29 GMT 19.10.2022)

Lake Hillier in Western Australia is famous for its vibrant pink hue. Watch this stunning natural oddity filmed from above.

The reason Lake Hillier is so passionately pink is not yet fully understood by scientists. It probably has to do with organisms called Dunaliella Salina: these microscopic algae produce lots of carotenoids, which give the waters of the 600-meter-long saline lake its distinctive color.
