The Red Lagoon




Hi, i'm going to talk about ''the red lagoon'', because this topic is very interesting for me.

The Red Lagoon has a liquid of colour so intense it looks like ink or blood.

The mysterious red lagoon is situated in Carmiña in the interior of Iquique Province, in the north of Chile. This area, located between 3.500 and 5.200 metres above sea level.

Little or nothing is known about the depth of the Red Lagoon, because its waters are warm (approximately 40 to 50 ° C) and strange powers are attributed, as legend
has it the Aymaras (Indigenous Peoples of Chile) those who came to drink of its waters disappeared.

Many studies have been made by experts here. Biologists ensures that the color is due to different species of algae that live in its depths, but the mystery still remains.
