Madagascar A Mystery IslandMadagascar is a fascinating island off the coast of Africa. Its plants and animals have a diversity
not found anywhere else on Earth. Its landscapes are stunning, and from space we saw a large dark
circle. We could see it was a mountain with a village nestled in its crater. It's located 8 kilometers
from any labeled town on Google Maps. It's a difficult place to find, and an isolate in an obscure
part of Africa.
In order to find out why the people of Madagascar elected to move to such an incredibly
isolated place, I started from scratch. I knew little about Madagascar and had no contacts there.
However, the question remained: could we get in touch with the residents of the village by using
the internet? %The% nearest location tags were on the edges of% the mountain: a butcher shop, a
playground, and a historical landmark. %But% none of them were real — they all seemed to be
references to popular Japanese manga and anime series Attack on Titan, written in Russian.
%The% ones that did look real — churches, hospitals, schools — didn't have much of a presence on
the internet. So we looked at content that had been %geotagged nearby%. %First% on Twitter:
using% the coordinates of the village, and a search radius
Until at last at 12 kilometers away …
… we tracked down somebody.
A charitable specialist who had posted from a close by town in 2014.
We inquired as to whether he had some awareness of the town on the mountain.
Be that as it may, he never hit us up.
On Instagram, we searched for pictures labeled in the closest town, Antaniditra
, what's more, found a guide association that had posted pictures taken there.
We asked, yet they didn't have the foggiest idea.
They'd never really been on the mountain.
Geotagged right close to the town on top of the mountain.
However at that point…
It was simply more Assault on Titan stuff.
Additionally written in Russian.
Sooner or later, it seemed like the web alone wouldn't tell us definitely.
So we began connecting with specialists who had worked in Madagascar.
Specialists in farming.
What's more, specialists in biogeography.
Madagascar is a nation of very nearly 29 million individuals: somewhat more than Australia,
marginally
less than Texas.
A greater part of the nation's populace — north of 60% — lives in country settings a ton like this
one.
In any case, this town was especially remote.
In the event that you zoom out, the nearest significant city is a spot called Tsiroanomandidy.
18 kilometers away, with a population of north of 44,000.
Right now all the while, it seemed like we would have to adopt a more extraordinary strategy.
Perhaps we could employ somebody to make the excursion up the mountain to the actual
town.
Somebody in Madagascar.
That is the manner by which he met Julie.
Howdy Antony.
Julie runs a creation organization in Madagascar, in the capital city of Antananarivo.
She was down to make the outing.
She began to assemble a group…
… make nearby contacts …
… what's more, sort out some way to get from Antananarivo the entire way here.
They weren't precisely certain yet the way that they'd get up to the town.
Or on the other hand the way that they'd lay out contact once they arrived.
Yet, they realized they must do it in only a couple of days in
Madagascar's hot blustery season.
Furthermore, mid one morning in January, they went.
