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

Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the ( v# N: S i3 s$ V7 W0 N5 B+ b+ M
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 4 Y1 c+ Y4 H9 y% e! X0 G

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its & z7 P9 f& G* D7 h+ f, F
