A lake in the Bavarian Alps has turned a deep purple color. Reports say it comes from sulfur bacteria that made its way to the water’s surface. Visitors don’t have to worry about toxicity because the bacteria is reportedly only dangerous in enclosed spaces. While the science behind it is interesting, the people flocking to the lake are really more interested in its aesthetic.
