The Cape Kazantyp, Shcholkine town in the background, Crimea, Ukraine
Kazantyp is a headland (or a cape) located in the northeastern part of the Crimean peninsula (in Ukraine) on the shore of the Azov Sea. It extends far into the sea from the coastline with its length being about 3–4 km. Its highest point is 107 meters above the sea level, with the average being 30–40 meters while its lowest inland point is 20–30 meters above the sea level. The headland is the northernmost point of the Crimean peninsula, dividing the Kazantyp and the Arbat lagoons. The Kazantyp headland is mostly covered with steppes. Since 1998 it was designated as a natural preserve 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. According to UNESCO the Cape Kazantip is a reserve of international significance.
