With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar # A, j; L. y2 o5 s- c
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 7 N* [, |5 v6 v
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of * o3 \4 o. f. j) t3 a$ A& q5 P
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the 5 j3 X* b2 l+ G+ Q7 w2 x/ B) G
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
1 x6 i2 g N- g o; Mstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that / D# b6 Q/ I) `6 O4 V4 k
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 2 N) N3 t5 p$ K1 \: W% s
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its

site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world ( b$ K5 w/ z4 ^& n( b+ w
