Back in the pink: Senegal salt lake gets its color back

  • Senegal's Lake Retba has regained its famous pink hue three years after floods washed it away, much to the delight of local businesses and tourists.
  • The lake, known as the 'Pink Lake,' is located 40 kilometers northeast of the capital city, Dakar.
  • Heavy flooding in late 2022 disturbed the ecological balance of Lake Retba and was likely worsened by climate change, according to scientists.
  • The pink color of Lake Retba is produced by cyanobacteria, which generates a red pigment when diluted in water, according to Cheikh Mbow.
