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.
Unbelievable ‘before and after’ photos show the enormous
difference between the two pigments:
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.
Local reports suggest a parallel color change took place
around 2,000 years ago, however it’s believed the change wasn’t quite so vivid,
and unlikely to have gathered as much attention as this time around.
