The Baltic Klint (Clint, Glint; {{lang-et|Balti klint}}, {{lang-ru|Балтийско-Ладожский уступ, Глинт}}) is an erosional limestone escarpment on several islands of the Baltic Sea, in Estonia, in Leningrad Oblast of Russia and in the islands of Gotland and Öland of Sweden. It was featured on the reverse of the 50 krooni note of 1928 and on the 100 krooni note of 1992. GeographyThe Baltic Klint extends approximately 1200 km from the island of Öland in Sweden through the continental shelf and the Estonian islands of Osmussaar and Suur-Pakri to Paldiski, then along the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland and Neva River to the area south of Lake Ladoga in Russia, where it disappears under younger sedimentary deposits. The cliff reaches 55.6 m above sea level at its highest at Ontika, Kohtla Parish, Ida-Viru County of Estonia. It is cut by numerous rivers (including the Narva, Luga, Izhora and the Tosna), many of which form waterfalls and rapids. The Valaste Waterfall (in Kohtla Parish) with a drop of 25 m is the highest. In Öland and Gotland a series of sea stacks known as rauks exists along the klint.[1] In the case of Gotland rauks are formed in limestone representing reefs that existed in the Silurian epoch.[1] As waves batters against limetone cliffs pre-existing vertical fractures begins to erode and widen. Eventually this lead to the formation of caves that merge with the remaining central rockmass becoming a rauk.[1] Areas with particularly high concentrations of rauks are Fårö in northern Gotland and Byrum in nothwestern Öland.[2] See also
