<p class="has-text-align-justify">Though not a summer cooler dessert, watermelon snow is certainly a summer consequence. As the sun shines over the winter leftover snow, the snow begins to melt. Due to the melting snow, there is a particular type of algae that thrives in this combination of freezing temperature and water. This alga needs light, warmth and water to grow.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">The alga is called Chlamydomonas nivalis and causes the snow to change its colour. it is mostly found in the Sierra Nevada of California. ; In cold temperatures, the alga goes way under the snow. However, warmer temperature allows them to come a little further above and be revealed. Though not extremely dangerous in small quantities, consumption of large quantities of pink snow can be fatal!</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">While this snow looks extremely beautiful, the colour of the snow makes it melt much faster. This is because the snow now absorbs more heat than reflecting it.</p>



<p class="has-text-align-justify">Another fun fact is that stamping this snow releases a pink pulp which leaves colour on your shoes. It is even said that the watermelon snow has a fruity smell to it, as if the name and the looks weren’t tempting enough!</p>
