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

arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
; A1 d& g/ _& RBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the * n% ~6 d* d; }, \# x1 K' Z* x
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 7 L1 T/ D" g2 o
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that
2 Q+ ^% A+ f8 B; L+ F+ jrise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human & y1 p- S: I5 s) d
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its
