The water turns red, the mystery of the 50,000-year-old lake

Lake Lonar was born about 50,000 years ago when a meteor struck the earth. But recently, its water has changed color and turned red. Experts point out that this phenomenon is most likely caused by a type of algae that is changing behavior due to the increased level of salt. Lack of human activity near the lake, due to coronavirus isolation, may be a factor that has contributed to this phenomenon. But the presence of salt is higher than usual, as the water level is too low due to lack of rain. This is not the first time Lunar Lake has turned red, but it was the most dramatic transformation in recent history.
