Stevns Klint, known as the Cliffs of Stevns in English, is a white chalk cliff located some 6 km (3.7 mi) southeast of Store Heddinge on the Danish island of Zealand. Stretching 17 km (11 mi) along the coast, it is of geological importance as one of the best exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundaries in the world.^[1] Subject to frequent erosion, the cliff rises to a height of up to 40 m (130 ft).^[2] Because of its exceptional fossil record, Stevns Klint was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2014.^[1]
