Pink lake

For lakes named "Pink Lake", see Pink Lake.

A pink lake is a lake that has a red or pink colour due to the presence of algae that produces carotenoids, such as Dunaliella salina.

Examples include Pink Lake,[1] near Esperance, Western Australia; Hutt Lagoon in midwest Western Australia; and Lac Rose in Senegal.
