Located in Madagascar is a forest unlike any other.
馬達加斯加有一處森林世間絕無僅有。
Because if you look closely, this forest is made of stone.
因為近看之下，你會發現這座森林其實是由石頭堆砌而成。
The Tsingy de Bemaraha, also known as Tsingy Stone Forest, is made of limestone, which was once underwater some 200 million years ago.
黥基·德·貝瑪拉哈，又名“黥基石林”，是一座石灰石林，大約兩億年前，這里曾是一片汪洋。
The rocks all feature distinct, razor-sharp formations, created by erosion from tropical rain, which washed away the softer stone.
這些巖石形狀鮮明而鋒利，因為較軟的石頭已經被熱帶雨水沖刷走了。
The reserve is around 230 square miles in size, and the stone towers rise 220 feet from the ground.
保護區面積約230平方英里（約600平方千米），石塔距離地面高達220英尺（約67）米。
Although this dramatic landscape appears inhospitable to nature,
雖然這里地貌夸張，似乎是生命的禁區，
Tsingy is home to some very resilient wildlife, including numerous wild bird populations and 11 different species of lemur.
但黥基生活著一群適應能力極強的動物，包括許多野生鳥類和11種狐猴。
The word Tsingy is indigenous to the Malagasy language and aptly translates to where one cannot walk barefoot.
黥基這個詞是馬達加斯加方言里的詞，恰當的翻譯為“無法赤腳行走的地方”。
However, while one cannot walk barefoot, the Tsingy Stone Forest is accessible to those wanting to see and climb the forest in real life.
盡管這里不適合赤腳行走，但那些想要親眼看到，親自攀爬這座森林的人還是能夠到達這里。
