Lake Hillier is a strikingly pink-colored lake located on Middle Island, the largest of the Recherche Archipelago in Western Australia. This unique natural phenomenon is renowned for its vivid bubblegum pink hue, which contrasts sharply with the deep blue of the surrounding ocean and the lush green vegetation of the island. The lake's distinctive color is believed to be due to the presence of the microalga Dunaliella salina, which produces carotenoids, and possibly certain halophilic bacteria and archaea. Measuring approximately 600 meters in length, Lake Hillier is a popular subject of aerial photography but is not commonly visited by tourists due to its remote location.
