The North-Estonian Klint forms a part of the Baltic Klint, which is approximately 1.200 km (along the escarpment line even 1.600 km) long, begins on the seafloor near the southernmost Öland Island (Sweden) and trends eastwards up to the southern shore of Lake Ladoga in northwestern Russia. The Baltic Klint is divided into four sections: Öland (ca 150 km), Baltic Sea (ca 500 km), North-Estonian (ca 300 km) and Ingermanland klint (ca 250 km). Of the 500-km escarpment of the North Estonian Klint altogether on about 100 km the bedrocks are exposed directly on the seashore.
Pakri Cliff is one of the worthiest candidates for the honourable title of the nature symbol of Estonia. The cliff is ca 24m high and the exposed rockbeds embrace time sequence of ca 60 million years.
