Forest of Knives, Madagascar

Forest of Knives, in other words, The Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park is a national park in the northwest of Madagascar. The national park consists of two geological formations, which are the Great Tsingy and the Little Tsingy. The word tsingy is an indigenious word which can be translated as ‘a place where one cannot walk barefoot.’ The translation fits the park as a result of its unusual geological formation. The park is listed as a World Heritage Site and it holds a large number of plants and animals which can only be found within the tsingys.
