Møn's Klint

On our way from Rødvig to Klintholm today, we passed Møn's Klint. This is a chalk cliff, 6 KM long and up to 143m high on the island of Møn. In the 'chalk' time, 75 million years ago, calcium shells from microscopic algae were deposited from the tropical sea that covered what is now Denmark. During the ice ages of the last 100000 years, the glaciers pushed thick flakes of this calcium deposit from the bottom of the Baltic which created the 'Klint' here.

We took a large number of pictures and a video, but unfortunately both the 3G and the WiFi signal here are too poor to post visual material to the blog. We'll try a 'special' tomorrow.



We are now in Klintholm, a very nice and currently quiet harbour just beyond the actual Klint. Quite a few 'swallow boats' (going South for the winter) have come in the last hour. We imagine it will be quite busy here 'in season' as it is perfectly positioned on the way to Sweden as well as towards Copenhagen.
