With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar 6 A4 }+ W/ `2 C
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
- p' I6 `) f9 aarid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 4 ^2 c9 I( y# X. C O
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
& a, L8 I6 U3 o" ^result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the

8 f9 S Y" U- dpenetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its

that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full ( F4 F/ C/ L6 i" Z
autonomy. This makes the island one of the most striking
