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

arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
5 l+ U2 \, n: O4 T' UBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the " j' M2 p: U9 o- T
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the

rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 2 d- I0 J8 u* B
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its 6 j7 }; s1 M4 z/ j+ I
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
