TSINGY OF BEMARAHA, Morondava region, Madagascar
The strange mineral forest of Tsingy of Bemaraha stands on the western coast of Madagascar.
This geological formation, called a karst, is the result of erosion, as rains’ acidity have gradually dissolved the stone of the chalky plateau and carved out sharp ridges that can rise to heights of 95 feet (30 m).
This nearly impenetrable labyrinth (tsingy is the Malagasy term for “walking on tiptoe”) shelters its own unique flora and fauna, which have not been completely recorded.
The site was declared a nature reserve in 1927 and a UNESCO world heritage site in 1990.
