Was browsing Google Earth and found this bizarre pattern in a purple lake called Salina el Cuarenta which is somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Mexico. Why is the water purple? There's a road not far...Any ideas what it could be?

An underwater pyramid?

I think Crimea has the same thing only but their lakes are bright cyan and orange. Does someone have more knowledge about this?

Mostly a dry salt lake, probably weird reflections and mineral deposits.

Sounds like something that a spy from Zeta 2 Reticuli would say...

It’s south of Laguna San Ignacio, I believe quite a ways below Guerrero Negro. Middle of nowhere. Lots of cool cycle riding tho.

This looks like something that Tom Scott would investigate and make a video about it

I used to work in aerial image processing (at a very low level), but image artifacts and weird colors are very common issues.

Adventuring on google earth is so much fun. I got lost in some south korean slum last time I did it.

I zoomed in on a random spot in north Africa once and found a dude with a camel, both staring up at the sky like they were looking at me.

Salt harvesting. The color is from salt tolerant microbes. Pink is also a popular color. The patterns are the pools they use as sections
Piornet
So much for the "tolerant" left microbes.

hello. I am from baja, What you are seeing is one of the world largest sources of sea salt known as Guerrero negro.

Also the green lagoon a few kilometers above is the nesting ground of gray whales from Alaska.

Been there a few times, it's a beautiful place. I highly recommend going and seeing the grey whales mate, giant dorks everywhere.

I found it on google maps, it's a seasonal lake called "Salina el Cuarenta" and is a good bit south of Guerrero Negro

Guerrero Negro. "The black warrior"?

No. Completely different place on the map. Guerrero negro is: https://goo.gl/maps/jfrLFT85qCSLDSh8A and Salina el Cuarenta is :

Why not Guerrero Purple?? Sorry.... btw didn’t there used to be a town there that got washed away???
paulus1978
The use of Black is to denote that it's dead, rather than to describe it's hue.
KnifeKnut
Because it is two different places. One is a seasonal lake, and Guerreo Negro is a lagoon.
sabathedog
Names more commonly than we used to. Ppl used to group more colors together but now we speak more specifically.
iPez
the town is still there. it had a rocky start but now its a small side of the road town with not much to do other than dinners
iPez
the town gots itns name from a pirate ship named the black warrior.
mobileimgurlags
Dinners? No breakfast or lunch? And shouldnt it be cenas?
iPez
I unno, they are called "restaurants" but they are kinda mom and pops type of establishments. some good ice cold choco banana shakes there.

I was being smaet a Diner is a mom and pop shakes 50s linda resturant. A Dinner like written above is an evening meal between lunch & supper

I just saw this subReddit explaining why we call things a color that it’s not (“red onion”) and how language has changed &we use more color

Alright you got me. it is a part of the broken god. The peninsula didn't existed a century ago but no one must remember.

Wait explain - who broke the God? Which God? Is that why 2020 is the way it is? I need answers

I think it is a reference to the Larry Niven's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Magic_Goes_Away
