The Pink Lake 🩷

What happens

Lac Rose in Senegal is bubblegum pink, and the ball floats high because the water is so salty. Salt workers pile white salt mountains on the shore, painted pirogue boats bob on the lake, patas monkeys (the fastest monkeys in the world) race the kids for the ball and win, and touch 500 lands under a baobab as wide as a house.

Fun facts

• Lac Rose is pink because of tiny algae that love salty water.
• The water is so salty that things float really high.
• Patas monkeys are the fastest monkeys in the world.
