With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar - C$ h$ p) N' b8 ?8 D& S. Z
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
# n+ m X$ u; V. X+ e/ ]arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
- d3 s: l7 R% b+ q1 W( p2 mBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
. T& M: u, O H( V, ]result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 3 p4 i( T" `- N4 v3 I$ m6 ~
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world D- W4 d; I1 v$ Q
