caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Møns Klint (en danois&#160;: «&#160;les falaises de Møn&#160;») sont une série de falaises situées sur la côte est de l'île danoise de Møn.A près de 128 mètres d’altitude, elles surplombent la mer Baltique depuis 70 millions d’années et sont principalement formées de coquillages préhistoriques. Sur une longueur de 7 kilomètres, le mouvements de glaciers en provenance du Nord ont poussé le plancher océanique vers le sud-ouest. Des millions de mètres cubes de restes de crustacés ont été repoussés, formant des plis et des bosses émergeant ainsi de la surface de l’océan. C’est à la fin de la dernière ère glaciaire, il y a environ 11000 ans, à la fonte des glaces, que les falaises d’aujourd’hui sont apparues (wikipedia).
context_page_description: Møns Klint is a 6 km stretch of chalk cliffs along the eastern coast of the Danish island of Møn in the Baltic Sea. Some of the cliffs fall a sheer 120 m to the sea below. The highest cliff is Dronningestolen, which is 128 m above sea level. The area around Møns Klint consists of woodlands, pastures, ponds and steep hills, including Aborrebjerg which, with a height of 143 m, is one of the highest points in Denmark. The cliffs and adjacent park are now protected as a nature reserve. Møns Klint receives around 250,000 visitors a year. There are clearly marked paths for walkers, riders and cyclists. The path along the cliff tops leads to steps down to the shore in several locations.
  On 29 May 2007, close to the cliff tops, the GeoCenter Møns Klint was opened by Queen Margrethe. The geological museum with interactive computer displays and a variety of attractions for children traces the geological prehistory of Denmark and the formation of the chalk cliffs. The museum was designed by PLH Architects, the winners of an international design competition.
