With an area of 226,660 square miles (597,000 km2), Madagascar
% X+ _7 M3 L0 d! V, {is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most 1 k; J. W* z: K8 O+ y5 e$ l7 L
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of
! D5 T2 r- c8 Y1 Y2 EBemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the % D* k# U- B7 S" a/ @- N
result of erosion, as acid rains have gradually dissolved the 8 O4 h$ X. `/ [5 f
stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that

that time its vegetation and animal life have evolved in full
