Sierra Magazine posted their picks of "
Earth's Weirdest Landscapes."
Some I was familiar with, like the Fly Geyser in Nevada's Black Rock
Desert, California's Mono Lake, and Hawaii's Kilauea volcano. But others
are new-to-me strange spots that I would be delighted to explore. For
example, above is Lake Hillier in Western Australia's Recherche
Archipelago. Yes, it really is pink. According too Sierra, "some believe
(the hue) comes from a dye produced by two microorganisms called
Halobacteria and Dunaliella salina, while others suspect the red
halophilic bacteria that thrive in the lake's salt deposits."
