With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar

/ d: B, m6 S/ q0 Harid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of : ], d7 W4 h# c8 x+ P+ @7 t
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the * O& Z5 a3 s# c9 j* }- j3 l
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
4 P" Q+ G/ @: m) _4 Kstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The ( Q% h) X. [ Z+ k
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world ) a3 s/ W, T9 g7 L
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the
