7 d i4 d* r- C$ c; e' SWith an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar - q" Z& d" X3 @2 _/ ~3 u
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 8 N2 R9 \. E( ^
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
, y1 Y/ O( j/ ^1 L9 qBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the . `7 T; P- n/ b4 @
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the ( {1 T' {% V6 m! T) e1 H
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that + X9 @7 w- \' ~5 \3 @1 R/ O
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 8 O; [0 H4 x6 K* L
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its 3 M+ z. Q- m4 A9 W) ], R' O
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The 5 @: Z7 }8 p2 k [
site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a world 8 W c$ v; F7 j, l
heritage site by UNESCO in 1990. Madagascar separated from the ; Q4 c( H2 b7 o, \* P( u

that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full ' p) B9 Z4 k5 C: e
