With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar $ w7 D# |8 i5 [# j
is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 2 V; s; @0 l H5 Z
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of f* @% U( D8 s3 u. u3 A
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the
