Pyvykha

Pyvykha (Ukrainian: Пивиха) is a 169-metre (554 ft) peak located in Poltava Oblast, Ukraine.

[1] Pyvykha is located on the southern outskirts of the urban-type settlement of Hradyzk on the left bank of the Dnieper, which was dammed to form the Kremenchuk Reservoir.

Pyvykha was formed as a result of a glacial system located here during the Dnieper Ice Age (corresponds to the Saale glaciation in northern Central Europe).

Outcrops of blue marl, a rare siliceous clay component, are found in the hill.

After the damming of the Dnieper to form the Kremenchuk Reservoir in 1960, whose waves can reach a height of seven meters during a storm, the Pyvykha exposed to gradual destruction.
