9.17.08 | Crevasses and glacier travel in famed Vallee Blanche, the upper reaches of the Mer de Glace. In background of some views, the massive Brenva Face and summit of Mont Blanc are visible. In green: Olivier Greber, mountain guide. In gold, Didier Lavigne, mountain guide.
9.19.06 | A tourist walkway provides access to the Mer de Glace glacier in France. It is a graphic indicator of the glacier’s shrinkage. In 1988, the platform in the upper right of the image reached the ice. Over the next 18 years the glacier receded so much that downward extensions of the walkway were successively added to allow visitors to touch the glacier. Note the figure on landing in the middle of the stairway for scale.
