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

* D' E# U' h/ q% Varid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
A+ A" S) [4 K4 b" fBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
6 D9 W8 [$ I5 w& [# w) J Uresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the / ]8 ~+ J3 G! {' {0 m
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that ( u+ P" R k3 \& N8 L/ }
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human
7 E3 n' F7 G) Jpenetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its
" j8 h4 x$ M g& ]+ mname, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The

heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the ( q, W/ {9 I3 v( ]- V. v1 u ]
