the It is 600 meters long and 250 meters wide The lake was discovered in 1802 and according to descriptions was pink until then, which was met with great confusion at the time: no one could decipher what made its color so special. More than a century later, the secret of the lake was revealed. First, Lake Hillier is very salty, by and large Its salt content is 30-35 percentwhich is close to the salt content of the Dead Sea.
The so-called halophile loves the salty environment, a microorganism that lives in areas with a particularly high concentration of salt.
