Iran's pink lake in Fars Province

In the Iranian city of Sarvestan, there is a lake called Maharloo with a stunning hue.

It is famous for its pink color, which is caused by certain algae in the water.

Elevated temperatures and evaporation cause the lake's water level to drop, its salt content to rise, and a particular type of algae to appear. The pink color of the lake's water is due to the beta-carotene that these algae synthesize.

The lake is a popular tourist destination, and many people come to see it every year.

You can come to the Iranian province of Fars to admire the view of the lake and take photos.
