Located 647 kilometres north-east of Adelaide, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre is Australia’s biggest salt lake and was formed approximately 200 million years ago and is the lowest point below sea level on the Australian continent. When the lake’s water level is low, its glittering crystalised surface stretches as far as the eye can see. When it floods, waterbirds descend in their thousands, fish converge in channels and wildflowers blanket floodplains. As water begins to evaporate, the lake takes-on a spectacular pink hue caused by a pigment found within a specific type of salt-loving algae.
