nation. For friends and natives approaching England
by sea, the cliffs are a welcoming beacon.
Seventy million years ago, during the Cretaceous
period, much of Britain was submerged. The sea
bottom comprised fragments of the skeletons of
algae (coccoliths). Sediments of the algae and of
other creatures eventually consolidated into whitish

chalk. When upward shifts caused the land to rise
(during the Alps’ formation), the sea bottom also
rose, creating cliffs, that reach a
height of 350 feet, in Dover.
Across the Strait of Dover, on the
French coast at Cap Gris Nez,
are matching cliffs. Black streaks
in the cliffs are due to the remains
of sea sponges, and of quartz sil-
ica associated with the decay of
marine life.
Dover’s cliffs, stretching more
than 8 miles in length, are landing
points for birds crossing the Eng-
lish Channel. Ravens, jackdaws,
peregrine falcons, skylarks, gulls
(fulmars), swallows, house mar-
tins, and the black-legged kitti-
wake are visitors. A World War II
song, performed by Vera Lynn in
1942, paid homage to the cliffs’
aviary, and instilled hope in war-
torn Britain, in “There’ll Be Blue-
