Møns Klint, a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the island of Møn, Denmark, showcases a unique glaciotectonic complex formed by the advance and retreat of the Young Baltic Ice during the Weichselian glaciation. This study reveals that the E–W trending composite ridges, including the highest point Aborrebjerg (143 m a.s.l.), are composed of thrust-fault-displaced chalk sheets with significant vertical displacement (up to 150 m). The research also identifies new geological formations, such as the Kobbelgård and Stubberup Have Formations, deposited during the Middle Weichselian. Additionally, it describes the formation of a glacial lobe along Hjelm Bugt and radial spillways like Borre and Maglemose depressions, which later became fjords. The study integrates detailed mapping, stratigraphic analysis, and glaciodynamic interpretations to reconstruct Møn's complex geological history, providing insights into its Quaternary evolution.
