What to see: Hawaii's mysterious pink “Barbie” pond

The Kealia Pond National Wildlife Refuge in Maui, Hawaii, has recently seen an influx of visitors, but they're not there for the wetlands, but for the bubblegum pink pond.

Scientists aren't sure what caused the pond to turn the light "Barbie" shade of pink, but they suspect it could be due to high levels of salt in the water, which causes the growth of halobacteria organisms.

People are warned not to come too close or drink the water.
