Pink Brine Lakes of Bonaire
The brine lake is used to extract salt from seawater. This unique lake is a popular attraction and attracts photographers from all over the world. The water is extremely salty and because of this, only one type of algae can survive in these conditions. This alga is eaten by only one kind of shrimp. If you are lucky, you will also come across a real Caribbean flamingo here!
The Pink Brine Lake is located near the village of Rincon on the island of Bonaire. The lake was created naturally when during an earthquake in 1995, water flowed down from the nearby hills and filled a crater. This is why it is also called the "earthquake lake". The lake has a pink hue due to its high salt content, which is caused by the large amount of brine shrimp living in its depths.
