arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 8 I8 m) x/ t8 g! J c1 K0 {% e. E
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
6 x4 H; D" z6 Y6 K% k& Fresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the

rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human

name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
