Why are Pink Saltwater lakes pink in colour?

  • These lakes are pink in colour because of the algae that breed only in saltwater. Lake Retba is a one-of-a-kind lake with nearly 40% salt. Meanwhile, Australia’s Pink Lake is not pink throughout the year. When salinity rises in the lake water and the right amount of sunlight hits the lake, its algae turn into pink colour.
  • In the case of Dusty Rose Lake in Canada, its neither saline nor has any algae formation, yet it is pink throughout the year. One of the explanations is that underground glacial water passes through rocks. It collects minerals, which make the water look pink.
