Scientists Amazed As 50,000-Year-Old Crater Lake Turns From Green To Pink

A lake in India has left scientists puzzled after strangely changing color turning from green to pink.

Set in a meteorite crater in Maharashtra State, Lonar Lake is assumed to be at least around 50,000 years old.

But, for the first time, the ordinarily blue-green hue of the lake turned to a spectacular red-pink colour last week.

While further studies take place, it’s unknown exactly what triggered the lake to change color so intensely. Experts reckon it could be down the salinity levels changing and the existence of specific algae, which could be accountable for the change.
