Where it is
Møns Klint is a 6 km stretch of white chalk cliffs on the east coast of the island of Møn in south-east Denmark, rising to 128 m above the Baltic Sea at Dronningestolen.
History
During the last ice age, glaciers pushing west compacted the chalk and forced it up into hills and folds, creating the cliffs. Landslides still reshape the cliff face from time to time, and in July 2025 Møns Klint was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List.
People
Møn is a rural island of farms and villages, whose people speak Danish and live from farming, tourism and crafts; Stege, with its medieval town gate, is the main town. Liselund, a romantic 18th-century country park with thatched buildings, lies at the northern end of the cliffs.

The chalk of Møns Klint is made of the shells of countless microscopic algae, coccolithophores, that lived on the seabed more than 70 million years ago.
