MONT BLANC

MONT BLANC is the highest mountain in Europe having 15,782 ft. height. It is situated in the Graian Alps, on the French-Italian frontier, almost entirely within France. The upper half of the mountain remains under perpetual
snow. It has 56 magnificent glaciers down its slopes, the Mer de Glace the chief.

It was first climbed by Balmat and Paccard in 1786, and since then has been many times ascended, now by over 50 parties every year.
