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

arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of / L! F U+ e6 B4 A* U. S
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
' Y7 Q# B( h }" i5 Aresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the - Q+ Z; v3 P2 `* k
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that , z% J' J% {/ i
