Pink Lake Isn't Pink

Western Australia is home to some incredible pink lakes, and one which lost its hue. Here's how they work, and why the Shire of Esperance is hoping to make theirs pink again.

Fun fact: between filming this video late last year and now, Hutt River province has packed up shop and rejoined Australia. We can only hope they share their succession expertise in forming the new country of Westralia under the leadership of God-Emperor Mark McGowan. Next episode lands in two weeks.

I'm here because of Tom Scott. I'm staying for atomic frontier. Great content!

I’m confused cause people are finding you through Tom Scott I guess, but you just showed up in my recommended, and when I heard your intro I thought “hmm this is like Tom scott, ” but I didn’t know he directed people to you.

I am deeply impressed, how much effort you put into your videos. Although you have only a small number of subscribers.
I hope that will not discourage you from keeping doing that, because I really really like your videos.

“Scientist have been baffled for years” (removes salt) “man where the pink go” baffling

Your content is of such high quality, keep it up

[purplegill]

I found you through tom scott, clicked on a random video, and was fascinated. Naturally, I was shocked when I saw this only had _3000 views_ for videos of such an incredible quality. Please never stop doing this as long as you're passionate. Your videos are genuinely incredible.

Here because of Tom, staying for the Western Australia content. Didn't think I'd learn so much about my own state, Thank you!!

I'm so happy that Tom Scott featured this channel. James' videos are of unbelievably high quality. It was an instant sub for me and I don't regret it.

This makes for a surprisingly fantastic resource for high-school level biology students. You cover so much ground in so little time while talking about something completely different. Continually impressive content.

I travelled all the way over from Perth to Pink Lake a few years back, only to find that it was no longer actually pink. It was a disappointing expedition, but certainly a memorable one.

Incredible content quality for the size of your channel. Just got here after you got linked on Tom scott's channel, you're doing great. Only upwards from here bro keep it up!

[Teodor_Ripka]

YouR channel was randomly recommended to me and I don’t regret it. Your production quality is so incredible you definitely deserve my subscription!

[DrBunnyMedicinal]

Lived in the state for several decades and never knew this about Esperance.

Nicely done, mate!

[LerWalters]

I'm so glad Tom chose to include you. I'm worried that I would of never found your channel! Your production quality is absolutely fantastic!

[DeganH]

I’m from WA, have lived here my whole life. And I absolutely adore your videos! I love learning about the country I live in and not useless facts about the New York underground

Small squible: osmosis only applies to water concentrations. In the case of the glycerol (as depicted in the graphic) I think the osmotic pressure would actually be reversed: higher water concentration on the outside of the cell. (This is my understanding of it. I'm by no means an expert)

to be honest, just though the earth was a fan of evangelion
