Lake Retba, Senegal’s Pink Lake
Contrary to what you might think, you’re not looking at a giant pool of strawberry milkshake, but the waters of Senegal’s Lake Retba. The unusual color, which is completely natural, is caused by large populations of the organism Dunaliella salina present in the lake.

stephaniestevenssmileys 10 months agoI live in Senegal…Pink Lake really does not look as pink or as lovely as it does in the photos. It is quite underwhelming.
