Pink Salt Lakes in Southern France
iss069e061413 (August 17, 2023) -- What looks like a collection of fields painted pink is actually a variety of salt lakes in Southern France. Located right off the Mediterranean Sea in the coastal town of Aigues-Mortes, these highly vibrant marshes get their color from pink algae that live within them. The International Space Station was orbiting 265 miles above as this photo was captured.
