Also known as the Pink Lake, this Middle Island anomaly is thought to have a salinity factor more than ten times an average ocean. The saltiness attracts a host of bacteria and algae that reproduce at a rapid rate and provide the unusual but breathtaking pink hue. Located just adjacent to the Pacific ocean, this anomaly is a small 600 meters long and is relatively stagnant. This famous patch of water has been oft-visited by both tourists and locals since its discovery back in the early 1800's, making it a well-known body across the world. However, this is not the only pink body of water in the world, which is a fact that is often unknown or overlooked, though this is quite possibly the most popular and possibly attracts the highest traffic.
