This pink snow may be pretty, but it's terrible news for the environment

When it comes to snow, white is the color we want to see. Yellow snow, dirty snow...not so much. Pink snow is more of a rarity; although it's found around the world, pink isn't a color we typically associate with snow. While it may be pretty, it turns out it's not a color we should want snow to be as the climate changes. Pink snow is caused by algae that prompts glaciers to melt quicker.
