Møns Klint

Møn

As can be seen in this picture the Klint is slowly giving way to the sea, and the treas are falling down from the top.

The night between the 26th and 27th of January 2007, nature took back a part of what it once slowly created during a long period of time. Store Taleren (The big speaker) the 16 000 year old chalk cliff met his maker a final time, the ocean…

This landslide was the biggest landslide in 50 years* on Møns Klint, about 460.000 tons of chalk, sand and clay created an peninsula which in the beginning reached as far as 300m into the Eastern Sea.

A smaller but yet big landslide occurred the 2nd of march 2007 between Freuchens Pynt and Græderen (The Weeper) lies south of Store Klint, it created a peninsula that reached about 100m out into the Eastern Sea.
