With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar 6 a# t" C5 P9 [# S
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most

Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the 9 ?: h! J' S& |9 L
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 6 T( @* Z5 h+ w' J; H" B7 w
