I'' just post some forms of landscape which could perfectly suit BM...
"Karst" refers to landforms dominated by bedrock � typically limestone or less often dolomite � that is susceptible to chemical erosion from naturally occurring carbonic acid. Karst topography is sometimes divided into three distinct forms: 1) Caribbean, 2) Temperate, and 3) Tropical.
Tropical karst occurs in humid tropical regions with much topographic relief and is distinctly characterized by steep, rounded hills known as haystacks or mogotes (in parts of the Spanish-speaking Caribbean) and areas of "feral relief" (literally "relief gone wild") with steep, nearly vertical rock formations as seen in the Stone Forest of Yunnan, China. In addition to China, good examples of tropical karst can be seen in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica (especially well know for its "cockpit" country), and Puerto Rico.
