MADAGASCAR
E; ~$ F; r- o0 nWith an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar " ?* a5 k) [5 b; }
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most & k2 e2 x4 Y- G4 S
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 0 e, i% s' R8 K6 c

result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 6 `! p; A" |0 _4 T7 f9 b" k j
