With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar : T. L* K7 G6 l: S3 B; a A
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 7 \; X+ F7 M/ R7 f0 Y% n" B
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
9 n5 u& W8 S8 r: U% O1 qBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the . A" c P0 O' [9 H p
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
9 C8 L* ^6 i, P3 J5 Nstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that
. b% K6 E' ~3 }rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human : m/ p' @4 y1 T
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its
