Australia has pink lakes — and they’re naturally pink!

One of the most famous is Lake Hillier in Western Australia. Its bright bubblegum-pink color isn’t fake or edited—it’s real! Scientists believe the color comes from special algae and bacteria in the water that produce a red pigment. What’s even cooler is that the color stays pink all year round, even when you scoop it into a bottle! This lake is on a small island, so you can’t swim in it easily, but it's an amazing sight from the air and one of Australia’s best-kept natural secrets.
