With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar * k1 f; Q1 F9 j* d- D4 l
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most ' Z9 G6 ]4 e& f$ P
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of : D: d: q' E8 H
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
7 A, o3 c( n7 Y& gresult of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
