It's alive! The high country mystery of red snow

Jan. 17, 2020 11:32 p.m.

Those pink and red patches of snow you've hiked by in the summer? They're not someone's spilled watermelon snow cone. They're not paint. They're not blood. They are actually a thriving community of algae. We hike into the North Cascades with microbiologist Robin Kodner to learn more about snow algae and her Living Snow Project.
