LAKE TAKES ON
STARTLING HUE
A lake in the South of France has turned
a bright shade of red that could pass for
blood, but experts say the coloring is a
natural phenomenon caused by extremely
high salt concentration linked to brine
shrimp that live in the lake. Camargue,
France, is a river delta that is home to
many salt flats. Last month, Lake Retba in
Senegal turned the color of a strawberry
milkshake due to high levels of salt.
