arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of % D f9 n1 {' Y2 d' A6 V
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the ) {9 ]$ |& {1 V& d# m! s
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 5 X1 J3 r: H: O& [# r

rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human % e3 i& s& }& u% C
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its ' F4 N( E& d- p2 ^
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The * e! n# o) a. r8 i9 N( ]
