Sierra Club magazine list of "Earth's Weirdest Landscapes"

NewImage


Sierra Magazine posted their picks of “Earth’s Weirdest Landscapes.” Some I was familiar with, like the Fly Geyser in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, California’s Mono Lake, and Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano. But others are new-to-me strange spots that I would be delighted to explore. For example, above is Lake Hillier in Western Australia’s Recherche Archipelago. Yes, it really is pink. According too Sierra, “some believe (the hue) comes from a dye produced by two microorganisms called Halobacteria and Dunaliella salina, while others suspect the red halophilic bacteria that thrive in the lake’s salt deposits.” Earth’s Weirdest Landscapes (Thanks, Orli Cotel!)
