On the largest island of Arkipelag, "Recherche" of Australia lies a strange painting.

A pink lake called "Lake Hillier" has attracted thousands of tourists and scientists for years, leading to speculation why this lake has this color - thought to be due to algae that 'love' salt.

In a new research, researchers confirmed their presence and many other microbes, which contribute to the lake having this unusual color.

The lake is described by scientists as the most unusual lake in the world, which has an ecosystem in which not many creatures can live.

Scientists explored the source of the pink color of the lake, and found that microbes are the ones that give this color.
