Overview

[edit]

It extends far into the sea from the coastline with its length being about 3–4 km. Its highest point is 107 metres above sea level, with the average being 30–40 metres while its lowest inland point is 20–30 metres above sea level.

The Kazantyp headland is mostly covered with steppe. In 1998 it was designated as Kazantypskyi State Nature Reserve of Ukraine. On the eastern half of the cape are located ancient ruins of a settlement dating back to the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC.

The Kazantyp Lighthouse is located on the headland. From 1995 to 1999, the international electronic music festival, KaZantip, named for the headland, was held nearby.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
