Strawberry-Milkshake Coloured Lake
Senegal's Lake Retba, or as the French refer to it Lac Rose, is pinker than any milkshake. Experts say the lake gives off its pink hue due to cyanobacteria, a harmless halophilic bacteria found in the water. Lake Retba has a high salt content, much like that of the Dead Sea, allowing people to float effortlessly in the pink water. Toch een beetje vreemd...

Located in Yellowstone National Park, 'Sunset Lake' hot spring is famous for its unique colors. These stunning colors are caused by brown, orange and yellow algae-like bacteria called Thermophiles that thrive in the cooling water.

Extreme Life on Earth: 8 Bizarre Creatures
Salt-tolerant "halophilic" microorganisms can withstand salt concentrations that would wither most life. One example is the bacteria Halobacterium halobium, which has evolved to live in environments with 10 times more salt than seawater, such as the salty lakebed of California's Owens Lake. - Credit: Jennifer Loveland-Curtze, Penn State.
Archaea | What is microbiology?
Halococcus salifodinae Colored scanning electron micrograph of bundled H. salifodinae, a specie of microorganisms from the domain Archaea. Archaea often resemble bacteria in size and shape, but possess genes and several metabolic pathways that are more closely related to those of eukaryotes. Because H. salifodinae thrive in water with very high concentrations of salt—so high that it would be deadly to most other forms of life—they are known as halophilic extremophiles. © Eye of Science
