MADAGASCAR
+ u$ C$ ?7 q1 L& DWith an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar 5 x5 C3 d u6 c3 I2 e
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 1 `9 C M4 }2 {0 ^9 e
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of $ d* T$ C& {2 a3 I) e
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
2 z/ t7 U( o2 Bresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
# p' q' Y$ L5 h6 fstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that & k! u/ y% V4 M0 V* V% `
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 5 X) ~9 E4 _4 `
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its ; ?) H( T q+ a& u
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
