Located near the northern tip of Madagascar, Ankarana ("an-KAR-ana") is a
place like no other on Earth. It is a spectacularly eroded limestone massif
shot through with caves, forest-filled canyons, and underground rivers. Certain
plants and animals found here, including a species of blind shrimp, live
nowhere else in Madagascar, much less the world. There are also lemurs,
chameleons, and the world's only known cave-living crocodiles. To investigate this otherworldly
landscape, one of the finest natural treasures on an island rich with
them, click on the slide show at left or the series of 360-degree panoramas below.—Peter Tyson
