HAVE YOU SEEN A PINK LAKE BEFORE?.{STRANGE BUT TRUE}.

                         The name of these Lake is ''Hillier'' and it is located in western Australia.According to research,Lake Hillier was visited by the Matthew Flinders expendition on 15 January 1802.Flinder's journal entries are considered to be the first written records of the lake.Flinders observed the pink lake after ascending the Island's highest peak,now called Flinders peak.Flinders visited middle island again in May 1803,he intended to stop a day or two in Goose Island Bay,for the purposes of procuring geese for our sick people.It is reported that Flinders subsequently named the Lake after William Hillier,a crew member of investigator,who died of dysentery on 20 May 1803 prior to the expedition's departure from Middle Island.In 1889 Edward Andrews investigated the commercial possibilities of producing salt from Lake Hillier,and briefly moved into the Island with both of his sons.They left after working the salt deposits for about one year.The lake was subject to salt mining during the late 19th century.The salt mining enterprise is reported as failing for a number of reasons including the toxicity of the salt collected for consumption.As of 2012,the lake is part of the protected area known as the Recherche Archipelago Nature Reserve and is the feature of a recreational walking trail which circumnavigates its shoreline.The only living organism in Lake Hillier is Dunaliella Salina,the microorganism that causes the salt content in the lake to create a red dye,hence the colour.Another hypothesis is that the pink colour is due to the red halo-philic bacteria in the salt crusts.Despite the unsusual hue,the lake exhibits no known adverse effects upon humans from above the lake appears a solid bubble gum pink,but from the shoreline it appears more of a clear pink hue.The shoreline is also covered in salt crust deposits.More photos below.
