With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar # F$ C# @8 `# }; Y
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most {* g* N' D7 {' ~( Z1 }
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of # h5 }( W- t& _5 k" @
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
7 g5 s4 i' W$ w% }, ~+ gresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the - H2 I2 \: ~: \/ T, O
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its 7 G, o) w- Z `) L
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
