Møns Klint




Mikael took us to this beautiful place called Møns Klint, which is about an hour and a half south of Copenhagen.

"The chalk forming the cliffs consists of the remains of shells from millions of microscopic creatures (coccolithophores) which lived on the seabed over 70 million years ago. As a result of huge pressure from glaciers moving west, the terrain was compacted and pushed upwards, forming a number of hills and folds. When the ice melted at the end of the last ice age about 11,000 years ago, the cliffs emerged." -Wikipedia

The water here was clear and turned a variety of shades of blue as the sun past over the water. Very cool.
