’Coned landscape.’
The landscape with wooded cones south of Lai Châu is the result of tropical karst: limestone dissolving and eroding by rainwater.

'Examples of karst.'
North of the Col de la Madone de Gorbio, the scene shifts from green and rich in flowers to dry and barren. The water as it seeps through has eaten away at the limestone, leaving behind razor-sharp fins. A textbook example of a ‘karst’ landscape.
