Like Lake Retba, there is no mystery surrounding this lake; everything is based on science.
The lake has high salt content, and as it dries out during the driest season, its salinity rises. The remaining water is warm and contains a lot of salt, which makes it an ideal environment for Dunaliella algae to grow and color the water red.
What makes the lake look bloody
Salinity levels rise and salt-loving microorganisms start to grow during the dry season. These species produce their food through photosynthesis using cyanobacteria and other halophile organisms.

Due to the lake's high degree of sanity, it is also thought that no one can swim in it. No other living things other than the habitat microbe have ever been known to survive in the water.
The salt-loving bacteria that live in the lake frequently tint the alkaline salt crust on the lake's surface pink or red.
Additionally, the water is also unsafe for drinking.
