Red Tsingy
Madagascar
The Tsingy Rouge (Red Tsingy) is a stone formation of red laterite formed by erosion of the Irodo River in the Diana Region in northern Madagascar. The name "Tsingy" comes from a Malagasy word meaning "where one cannot walk barefoot." The formations were revealed in the 1950s after landslides exposed them, and the iron oxide-rich soil gives the landscape its reddish-orange color. It is situated approximately 60 km south of Antsiranana near the town of Sadjoavato.
