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

arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
2 c1 c/ c4 u7 A: P7 m% RBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the ' d) [, K7 r! O5 h( U% h! ^. _, v
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the ( |: U9 {) j1 [6 R, ]
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its ' m' c8 _: @3 u9 @3 T6 P% `3 ?' L: s( ?
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 6 ~3 t" P/ G5 u& O4 L6 J/ @$ F* D

that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full , v8 j9 F( ?& B; r: `
