There is a "ruby" hidden in the desert. Why is there pink in the lake?

Science Fiction Network June 27 (Qin Yingying) According to the People's Daily Weibo, Changguang Satellite recently released a group of photos of the lake in the Badan Jilin Desert.

Badan Jilin Desert is one of the eight major deserts in my country, with a total area of ​​about 49,000 square kilometers. Here is in the inland, far from the sea, and the annual precipitation is less than 40 mm. It is an extremely drought area.

Among them, the pink lake is very eye -catching. Lake Dagtu is located deep in the Bayan Jilin Desert. It is a pink saltwater lake in the lake. The locals are called "Red Sea".

Lakes are divided into freshwater lakes and saltwater lakes. The eastern monsoon areas in my country. Due to the rich annual precipitation, most of them are humid areas and semi -humid areas. The lakes are mainly freshwater lakes. Saltwater Lake is generally distributed in areas with less precipitation. The Northwest dry semi -arid areas and Qinghai -Tibet high -cold areas are the main distribution areas of Salt Water Lake.

Due to the differences in the salinity of the lake and the different growing algae and floating animals, different colors will be present, including blue, green, purple, pink and red, and so on.

The reason why Dagtu is pink is related to a large amount of growth of red pigments in the lake. The retaining insects can be eaten with salt marsh, which can tolerate high salinity. With the increase of the salinity of the water body, the shrimp in the retaining body continues to increase, and the body color will become red, which makes the entire lake pink.

Dagtu's summer color is the brightest, and it is the best season for viewing. The surroundings are all deserts, and ruby ​​-like lakes look particularly mysterious and fantasy.
