Pink Lake in Senegal (How interesting!!!)

Patricia has just sent me this story about a pink lake:

PINK LAKE

Retba Lake is a pink lake that is in Senegal (northwest of Africa). Its name is Pink Lake because the colour of its water is pink, especially in the dry season. It happens because of a cianobacteria that produces a red pigment that lives with much salt concentration. In the lake people can float because of the high level of salt. The lake is quite big, but not very deep.
