With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar % ?* y+ o4 Z1 i8 }# a2 b6 w
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
7 {/ `# C+ k) W4 x: Varid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of ! E2 Z$ V1 _9 C( B
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
* r6 h0 C3 j, T; u; F2 k! t' P+ eresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the " n) r! G# u: x( P4 _
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that
6 p. C( Y R! P' Q2 W& rrise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 0 c- ~$ P; A6 e8 }$ u2 O
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its 7 H+ I- b3 k/ h3 U/ P
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 6 Q: `9 s7 M0 W1 D1 n3 [: m
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world

that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full " Y( \' G! ] E: ~6 M, Q
autonomy. This makes the island one of the most striking
