is the fourth-largest island in the world. The western, most : s" v* J5 V' s; V2 L
arid part contains the strange mineral forest of Tsingy of 1 y' _. }3 x, F d2 j( t2 |
Bemeraha. This geological formation, called a karst, is the

penetration of the area has been difficult, which explains its * n0 \* w! K. m1 @/ b! G/ E" d) p
