With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar ' J! v+ o% N, g7 A4 U& j
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 3 J# B0 e; ^/ K/ i7 I: l2 J' p; D
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 7 n" M7 j- F8 z. R
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
w" H; n9 o4 G3 O0 tresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
( W7 A$ I- e' ~- {$ Q1 x+ Sstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that
, _4 _/ S4 ?" @& jrise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human
2 |6 ?5 i' \+ ipenetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its # R3 @$ p4 S/ L. _
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The ( [2 c6 F& R1 L- `7 q& g1 x* Y( B
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world
* T- K# H* @; K5 rheritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the # L. k: _2 T8 M4 D
continent of Africa more than 100 million years ago, and in # c" w/ p& G9 C* v3 N' p: H
that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full
