A pink lake is a lake that has a reddish or pink color due to the presence of algae that produce carotenoids (organic pigments). These include algae such as Dunaliella saline (Dunaliella salina), which is one of the types of halophiles of green microalgae living in especially salty sea water. Thanks to their pink color, these lakes are becoming more popular among tourists and photographers from around the world. We invite you to a small tour of the pink lakes of our planet.
