# Ice cream

Ice cream in its numerous forms has become a beloved dessert throughout the world. Trying out a local flavor or style of ice cream during vacation, especially in hot weather, is one of the great travel experiences.

## Understand

The history of the early ice cream and other frozen desserts goes back thousands of years and may have been invented in ancient Persia or China. Blocks of ice would be carved out from mountains during the winter and stored underground during the summer. This ice would be combined with syrups and milk to create various chilled desserts. However, due to the laborious process and cost involved, these early kinds of ice cream were only consumed by the aristocratic class. Ice cream started to become a mass product in the 19th century when refrigeration technology made making ice more affordable.

### History

Dinard was first settled by Saint-Malo's shipping merchants who built some of the town's larger houses, very few of which survive.

In the late 19th century, the resort became popular with the British wealthy who built villas on the coast. Dinard rapidly expanded. It started declining in the 1930s when the fashionable social set started preferring the Côte d'Azur. Today, Dinard is considered as one of the most "British" of sea resorts in France, however it has retained its French charm. There are 407 listed villas.

* -36.4057141.957721 Pink Lake, Western Highway. A small, circular, salty pink lake on the Western Highway just north of Dimboola in Australia. Granville Stapylton, part of the explorer Thomas Mitchell's 1836 expedition into western Victoria, reconnoitred Pink Lake on 20 July 1836. The lake received its name from its distinctive pink colour. The brightness of the hue varies according to the level of rainfall. Until the 21st century, it was assumed that red algae created the pink hue; however, recent research reported by Australian Geographic describes the colour as result of a pigment produced by the Salinibacter ruber bacteria. A rest-stop overlooks the lake's basin. Salt has been harvested from the lake since the 1860s and on average 20 tonnes a year are harvested by the Mount Zero Olive company working in conjunction with the Barengi Gadjin Land Council. Commercial harvesting stopped in the 1970s but was resumed after negotiations between the Victorian State government, the Barengi Gadjin Land Council and the Mount Zero Olive Company in 2009.
