0 [, J, G; O( Z9 D* j) Zarid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
5 f7 e; M- j" B' y7 z x" \Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
& R4 J; h5 ?& ~result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
0 G1 b& `+ G: T# n' y+ Kstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its : O& a6 N8 {7 Z3 c9 U
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
