Red Tsingy

Natural Site

Stone formation in northern Madagascar

The Tsingy Rouge 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.
