There are many pink lakes around the world, with the most famous one in Australia. According to science, the pink color comes from Halobacteria and the algae Dunaliella salina, as they both thrive in salty environments and secrete red pigments.
The Dead Sea has also witnessed this bacteria and algae flourish in its water as it’s extremely salty.
