This stunning photograph is another of the fabulous finalists of the 2017 imaggeo photo contest. Imaggeo is the EGU’s open access image repository. It’s a great place to showcase your photographs; so whether you are stuck in the lab this summer, frantically typing away at a paper, or are lucky enough to be in the field, be sure to submit your photographs for all EGU members to see. You never know, we might choose to feature it on the blog too!
Surrounded by sleeping and active volcanoes, Laguna Colorada is one of the mythical places of South-Lipez. Perched at more than 4000 meters on the Bolivian altiplano , this volcanic laguna owes its color to microscopic red bacteria which make the delight of pink flamingos.
