Lake Hillier
Lake Hillier is one of the most fascinating lakes on the planet, mainly because of its bubblegum pink color. It’s located just off the south coast of Western Australia on Middle Island, a relatively small island that is part of the Recherche Archipelago in the Goldfields-Esperance region.
Only a few dunes covered in dense vegetation separate the lake from the ocean, which also means that this is a salt lake with an extremely high concentration of salt. Red algae cause the pink color of the water and this organism is referred to as Dunaliella salina. Regardless of its color, the water is safe for humans. The best way to explore this magnificent lake is by air as this allows you to get clear views of the remarkable pink color of this fascinating lake!
