...I will take you back to the white cliffs as I promised , to see the big slide - one of two slides in January .
This you might call the last echo of " The Great Orator " ( the name of this particular part of the white cliffs ).
Around half a million tonnes of chalk now form a peninsula that stretches about 300 meters from the coast .
The chalk is also taken further away . Around most of the island's coastline the water often aquires a fascinating jadegreen and turquise colour ( shown in my previous photos ).
The cliffs are made of chalk , which is the remains of microscopic plants and animals . They inhabited the sea about 70 million years ago in such abundance , that in time a layer measuring more than 100 meters was formed .
Some 100.000 years ago the ice age glaciers pushed up the flakes to form " mountains " and "falls" that characterises the cliffs as they appear today .
In 10.000 years , this landscape will be forever gone
-given back to the sea.
If you take a closer look at the photo you may be able to see two people on the beach a bit left in the middle of the photo . This will give you an idea of the size of the slide .
In the workshop , I show you a piece of idyllic landscape , " Jydelejet " which you have to pass , unless you walk all the way along the narrow path along the 10 kilometers of Moens Cliffs .
I will also show you where the track has vanished into the deep .
Hope you will enjoy this very special landscape .
Have a nice weekend .
greetings
Dorte.
