Aerial view of Lake Eyre with pink water Australia
Aerial view of Lake Eyre in outback South Australia. This enormous, ephemeral lake fills only when floodwaters from the upper catchment are able to travel all the way down through the desert and into this terminal basin. The lake waters are saline, and here are seen with a pink colour, caused by episodic blooms of the salt-tolerant Dunaliella spp. algae

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking aerial view captures the mesmerizing beauty of Lake Eyre in outback South Australia. As one gazes upon this vast expanse of water, it is hard to fathom that this enormous lake only fills when floodwaters from the upper catchment make their arduous journey through the desert and into this terminal basin. The striking pink hue of the lake's waters adds an ethereal touch to its already captivating presence. This unique coloration is a result of occasional blooms of Dunaliella spp. , a salt-tolerant algae that thrives in these saline waters. The ephemeral nature of Lake Eyre makes witnessing such vibrant displays even more extraordinary. Whitworth Images has masterfully captured this awe-inspiring scene, showcasing not only the grandeur but also the delicate balance found within Australia's natural landscapes. From high above, one can truly appreciate the sheer magnitude and intricate details that make up Lake Eyre. This photograph serves as a reminder of nature's resilience and adaptability, as well as its ability to create moments of pure wonderment. It invites us to contemplate our place within this ever-changing world and encourages us to cherish and protect these precious ecosystems for generations to come.
