The country that I chose to research was Madagascar.
Madagascar is an Island country located in the Indian Ocean in
South Africa. It is mostly known for its trail of large mountains.
It's twice the size as Britain, coming in as the fourth largest
island in the world. Mountains, though it is the main attraction,
isn't the only thing

made up of. It has forests, crystal lakes, massive caverns, and
savannah grasslands covering the west part of the island. The south
region is made up of sandy deserts. These parts of the island are
dry, hot, and tropical while the mountains have a lower temperature
from the rest. During the wet season, which is from December to
march, is when

antanosy people, bezenozalo people, antakarana people, veso people,

zagimaniry people, mikea people, antaifasy people, and Indians in
Madagascar. Many ethnicities were created throughout the history of

the year have passed but it has not yet approached the coldest
time. People enjoy seeing the mountains, forests, and deserts of
the island and are willing to pay good money
