Møns Klint, Denmark

Central portion of Møns Klint, as it appeared in 1986. Arguably the most famous glaciotectonic site in the world. The pinnacle in the center was Sommerspiret, a displaced mass of upper Cretaceous chalk in vertical position. The spire stood >100 m high since at least the 1830s, but it fell down in a later storm (January 1988). Image adapted from Aber and Aber (2025, fig. 4).
