With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar 9 ^1 x/ w |2 p( x9 q
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most " M9 M: u6 \ y8 d
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
, a3 R6 }7 L3 Q8 i3 rBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the & n6 W+ _. B( Z4 X$ B7 i
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
% b4 }/ J y8 C6 Y9 astone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that : r) ?5 `' Z, A7 g9 G8 Y
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human

name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 7 D- R( l% a8 ]
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world
