Mystery Pink Lake, Even When It Rains, the Color Doesn't Change
HOLIDAY NEWS - Indonesia has world-famous pink beaches. These include Red Beach (Pink Beach) and Sereh Beach in the Komodo National Park Area.
This beach has high popularity due to its location in Labuan Bajo, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), which is one of the super priority destinations. However, neighboring Australia also has similar tourist spots.
But not a beach, but a pink lake. This lake is called Hillier Lake, located on Middle Island, Western Australia.
So, what makes this lake pink? Lake Hillier is surrounded by thick sand and green trees around it, providing beautiful and stunning natural panoramic views.
The location of the lake is also not far from the ocean. This pink lake was discovered in 1802 by Matthew Flinders, an English navigator and hydrographer.
At that time, Flinders was surveying the surrounding waters, then accidentally discovered this beautiful pink lake. Since then, many visitors have come because they are curious about the uniqueness of this lake.
Unlike other pink lakes in the world, the origin of Lake Hillier's pink color is still a mystery.
Some say the color of this lake comes from the microorganisms that live in the water of this lake, but there are also those who say the pink color comes from halophilic bacteria and salt crust contained in the lake.
However, according to research, this pink color is not dangerous for humans. Visitors can play or swim in the lake. However, most visitors who come only enjoy it from afar.
Another unique thing is that the lake water will remain pink even if it rains heavily. You can also prove it by taking water and putting it in a container, the pink color can still be seen.
In addition to its stunning colors, Lake Hillier offers a variety of natural wonders that visitors can explore. Its remote location and natural surroundings provide a calm and peaceful atmosphere
