It is caused by a snow algae, single-celled organisms that live atop snow fields around the world. It has been remarked for at least 2000 years since Aristotle wrote about snow that was "reddish in color" in his "History of Animals". In North America it is called watermelon snow just because of the color and fruity scent. (by the way do not taste it!) In Scandinavia it is called "blood snow".

Near penguin rookeries, of course, there is often another reason for snow's pinkish orangish tinge: Guano!

How is pink snow made?

Pink snow, also known as watermelon snow, is caused by a type of algae (Chlamydomonas nivalis) that thrives in cold and snowy environments. The algae produce red pigments to protect themselves from UV radiation, giving the snow a pink or red color. While it may look pretty, the presence of these algae can potentially impact the surrounding ecosystem.
