Møns Klint
White against blue

Pale chalk cliffs, dark beech woods, and a dramatic meeting of land and water.

The line of the cliff

Møns Klint is known for bright chalk cliffs rising above the Baltic. The contrast between pale stone, green woodland and water is the first thing that stays with you.

Layers of time

Coastal cliffs are a record of long geological processes. Their shapes and textures are not fixed: they are continually affected by weather, erosion and time.

Seeing the contrast

Look at the way pale cliff faces catch light differently from the sea below. In our illustration the shapes are simplified, but their contrast tells the story.
