Talk:Hornelen

Sea cliff or not?
I am curious if this can be truly defined as a sea cliff. Is this not formed by glaciation and just happens to be by the sea? A sea cliff by definition is formed by the erosive power of the sea. 185.69.236.69 (talk) 17:41, 2 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Sea cliff definitions vary, not all requiring marine erosion and there's no shortage of sources that describe Hornelen in this way, although many of them are not of the best quality I admit. It seem to originate with the local tourist board who have a vested interest in such a claim. Mikenorton (talk) 18:08, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have to disagree that this is a sea cliff in the traditional sense, and don't believe that a vested interest from a tourism body should be a factor for Wikipedia citing Hornelen at the 2nd highest sea cliffs in Europe.

 * Wiki itself defines the criterium for a sea cliff above so is this not against standards?
 * Personally, this claim must be altered as it is inaccurate. 83.215.62.32 (talk) 22:03, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
