With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar ! V/ Y+ s: H& N0 F* l% M
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most
$ P7 U' b! g9 w2 B5 i9 a% earid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 3 ` Y- A2 ~# }
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
1 T( |, b# W1 h; l" I% \9 ]result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the
