Stevns Klint, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Denmark, is a striking chalk cliff revealing a fossil-rich layer from the asteroid impact that ended the dinosaur era 66 million years ago. Stretching along a rugged coast, it offers a window into Earth’s geological history. This site blends scientific significance with natural beauty.
