With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar 6 a5 A6 E& `! k% ~+ V
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
6 L7 X0 m4 c0 |& warid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
/ j# Y4 n1 W- x5 ^Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the $ |8 a# K+ ]# B0 q& u
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
/ e* O: I( o% a0 v8 }( wstone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that $ E9 D$ J P1 n# {; g7 R
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human - P3 k2 ]+ _# l
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its
# _! F2 o. D, {% I! ]+ b% l" Oname, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
& [+ i0 G( _- R+ s$ d* \ Csite was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world . Z) o- y2 A0 C
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the ! U9 u6 `7 C# s4 \8 F
