Everyone when they talk about snow imagines and comes to mind an impressive white blanket covering fields and mountains, however there is an increasingly common phenomenon in which the snow turns totally pink.
Although this type of snow may look wonderful from a visual point of view, the formation of it is due to a rather sinister and nothing positive fact that I tell you below.
The pink snow has a scientific explanation and it is that such a characteristic tonality that draws so much attention to the people who see it, it is due to the presence of a microalgae that can reach millions of copies for every centimeter of snow.
The striking pink color is due to the spores that give rise to huge and dense blooms known as "blooms." This type of phenomenon can occur in any area of the planet as long as the weather conditions are right. However, there are parts of the world that are more prone to the so-called pink snow, such as Greenland, Norway, Iceland or Sweden. The microalgae cause the snow to melt much faster than normal and this causes more flowering to occur throughout the snowy surface. The problem with this is that this abnormal melting of snow favors the dreaded global warming.
Experts on the subject think that the so-called pink snow will be an increasingly common phenomenon in the coming years, mainly due to climate change and global warming that the entire planet suffers. That is why pink snow is considered both a beautiful phenomenon as well as a sinister and problematic one.
