Kazantyp

Kazantyp (Ukrainian: Казантип, Kazantyp; Russian: Казантип, Kazantip; Crimean Tatar: Qazan Tip) is a headland (or a cape) located in the northeastern part of the Crimean peninsula (in Ukraine) on the shore of the Azov Sea. The name Kazantyp comes from the Crimean Tatar name qazan tüp that means bottom of a cauldron referring to its concave profile. 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.
