arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 7 h8 P0 Z+ O K2 Y _
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the 4 Z5 t8 ?3 _, K! w9 t" `& Y
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the - B3 V4 E! v6 V k
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that - g7 @$ ^. r7 g# V9 X% E
rise to heights of 65 to 95 feet (20 to 30 m). Human 5 q" n. n( u" h+ t7 A
penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its : j4 M. M* \5 }9 z5 k1 w4 k; P
name, ’tsingy’, which is Malagasy for ’walking on tiptoe.’ The
