This pink colored lake located in Senegal, Africa its called Lake Retba or Lac Rose. It is so named for its pink waters, caused by cyanobacteria in the water. The color is particularly visible during the dry season. The lake is also known for its high salt content, which, like that of the Dead Sea, allows people to float easily. The lake also has a small salt collecting industry and is often the finishing point of the Dakar Rally.
Women in Senegal spend up to 14 hours a day on the banks of this lake to harvest salt. Each liter of water has about 380 grams of salt.
It's weird that the pink color caused by cyanobacteria, while the salt are still pure white after collecting from the lake. It would be really high density for 1 liter of water contained 380 grams of salt, which would be more than 1/3 of the concentration.作者: ericqq 時間: 2010-4-17 02:06 AM
