With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar 7 u% g$ y% k' e m
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most

3 z8 V+ R9 F) T) K! fBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
2 S4 V: D7 O4 Y- r4 C! Aresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the % d, I+ z, a% L7 H$ f/ n2 k' t
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its ) m# {; d& t0 o4 v3 l( y
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
