The Lake That Is Bubble-Gum Pink And Stays Pink

Lake Hillier on Middle Island, Western Australia is bubble-gum pink year-round. Unlike other pink lakes that change, it stays pink even when bottled. Colour comes from Dunaliella salina algae that produces beta-carotene, plus halophilic bacteria. Discovered in 1802 by Matthew Flinders, it's 600m long, surrounded by white sand and green forest — pink, white, green, blue. Scientists still can't fully replicate the exact shade in lab. From above, it looks like a strawberry milkshake in the ocean.
