Where is this lake located?
Pink Lake is a salt lake in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia. It lies about 3 kilometres (2 mi) west of Esperance and is bounded to the East by the South Coast Highway.The lake is not always pink but the distinctive colour of the water changes as a result of green alga Dunaliella salina, halobacterium Halobacteria cutirubrum, and/or high concentration of brine prawn.
This lake is famous worldwide, at least its pictures are quite widespread on the Internet. This is not surprising, as this natural phenomenon is considered a paradox and looks like an unearthly object.

Sure there is. It's a pink lake. How many places can say their lake is pink? Just because you don't know the answer doesn't make it a bad question.

I love how the people who don't know the answer think it's a dumb question.

Somebody should invent a drink and call it Pink Lake.

Laurie Johnson Gonzalez, Your comment is two years old. Maybe things have changed. I got it right and it's still a dumb question.

50/50 and then closed my eyes and tapped an answer! Got it right but can't claim that I knew it!

Flying over to Western Oz a few years ago I had a wing seat and was amazed to see not just one, but many pink lakes between Esperance and the ranges west of Perth. Took photos of them too, just lost track of how many there were. Quite lovely to see.

Chrissy Krainock Luders, Google Lake Hillier you'll find the photo there. This photo is also on the page for Lake Retba but named as Lake Hillier. Sometimes pays to look a little further.

Gill Kilford, This one is Spencer Lake which hasn't been pink for a while. Lake Hillier is on Middle Island which is (of course) offshore in the same area.
