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

arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of * v2 i7 h$ B8 y1 C6 O2 d* D
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the

stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its & U* O' u8 S: o/ w* s! E* g( d
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 8 l. c2 J$ a; W3 r9 S T! w% v
