Lake Hillier (Lake Hillier): In Australia there is a place where nature offers us a lake of strange beauty.
Hillier Lake (Lake Hillier) is located on Middle Island, the largest of a group of islands and islets that make up the archipelago of Recherche, in western Australia; It measures 600 meters long by 200 wide and is surrounded by thick forests of Ecualypto and Maleluca, with a narrow strip of sand dunes to the north, covered with vegetation, which separates it from the Antarctic Ocean, on the other hand, the waters of the Lake is infested with halobacteria, extremophile organisms that use a protein, bacterioruberine, to absorb sunlight and perform photosynthesis. In general, the two bacteria together, mixing the lighter shade of saline dunaliella and the more vivid red halobacteria, are what give the lake its characteristic pink hue.
It is believed that the island and the lake were mapped for the first time by the Flinders expedition in 1802. It is said that Captain Mateo Flinders, a British hydrographer and navigator, contemplated the pink lake after ascending to the island's peak. John Thistle, the captain of the ship, collected the water from the lake, discovering that it was saturated with salt.
Despite its unusual tonality, the lake has no known adverse effects in humans. Seen from above the lake looks like a solid pink chewing gum, but from the shoreline it looks more like a light pink shade that is in the water.
Lake Hillier is a wonder of nature, a sight to admire. However, he is not the only one in the world with this particularity. The Retba Lake in Senegal, the Dusty Rose Lake in Canada or the Hutt Lagoon and the Pink Lake Quaihading, both in Australia, are other pink lakes in the world.
