'La Chaine du Mont Blanc' Barbey, Imfeld, Kurz 1896 A good example of Swiss talent in cartography, mainly regarding rock faces 🖌️ Map criticized by Vallot (who at the same time began his own map) for giving a figurative image rather than a correct representation of the terrain 🏔️

Mont Blanc massif and Aiguilles Rouges in full glory today from Mont Buet, before the weather turns bad! 😍 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social 🙏

The Drus today playing with the clouds... 🏔️🤩

The Chardonnet (3,824 m) towering the Tour Glacier forefield two days ago! 😍 The forested curve at the valley bottom represents the Little Ice Age moraine, when the glacier reached down to 1,500 m (vs 2,650 m today!) 🔥📈

A glorious late afternoon highlighting the fantastic architecture of the Mont Blanc massif two days ago! 🏔️🥰

The perfect Alpine peak, A summit ice cap 🏔️ Four equally steep faces steeped in history, The mountain where 'one becomes a mountaineer', according to a famous 20th-century guide ⛏️ What a thrill to gaze upon it 😍

I took this photo today, a few mn after a huge serac collapsed from the cliff, which is now 50 m-high and cuts the tongue in two 🧊🌊 Bossons was a natural monument, the one that made Chamonix famous... this era is gone! 😢 2 yrs ago, it seemed absurd to imagine such a rapid decline, and yet... 😱

Bossons Glacier today! 🥰

Walking on Mer de Glace yesterday (here at 1900 m) after starting from valley very bottom, Les Tines (no cable car)! 🏔️ Breaking the trail through heavy and deep snow, struggling every single step through a labyrinth of huge boulders and reluctant alders, hiding deep holes! ❄️👣 La Vie la Vraie!

The mighty Aiguilles de Chamonix (Charmoz, Blaitière, Plan) on 15th March! 🏔️🏔️🏔️ Always a reason to look up, craning your neck 🤩

This was the very front of Mer de Glace yesterday (15th March)! ❄️ An ice outcrop is visible at the foreground! Having travelled all this way from the accumulation zone (11 km), ice is ~500 yrs old at this spot, where its journey ends... 🧊 Charmoz are playing hide and seek at the background! 🏔️

Bossons Glacier this morning after yesterday snowfall ! ❄️ 🥰

Les Drus emerging from the clouds this morning! 🏔️😍

Aiguille du Midi (3842 m) tonight! 🏔️❄️ After so many snowy days... Now a warming trend that will become noticeable early next week (0°C > 3400 m! 😱) Continuous winter no longer exists... small patches resemble it in an endless spring 🌡️ 📷 @pinpinmag 🙏

Increase in snow depth during the mid-February (10 to 20 February 2026) stormy weather! 😲❄️ Gold medal: 🥇 +2.88 metres at the Nivôse des Aiguilles Rouges station (Chamonix valley), located at an altitude of 2,365 metres. Other notable figures: (see below👇) Data: Meteo France

Avalanche du couloir des Favrands (Aig. du Midi) 16th May 1983 2:00 pm In these avalanche times, throwback to one of the most impressive having affected the Chamonix valley! ❄️💨 Started as a slab (2500m) and developed a huge aerosol reaching the tunnel entrance (1200m), killing one! 😱 📷D. Cardoso

'La Mer de Glace' Léon Gimpel 1911 Shortly after invention by the Lumière brothers in 1904, Gimpel already mastered the autochrome technique: 'the brightness of the ice made it a photogenic subject par excellence for colour' 📷🌈 This view is remarkable for its precision, quite rare in autochromes.

So many people are sharing this (impressive) video saying that 3 freeriders died there 🤬 LIE! The avalanche shown here was (intentionally) triggered yesterday (17/02) at Fauteuil des Allemands. DIFFERENT from the one on 15/02 where 3 died in Canale del Vesses, on the other side of Val Veny! 🤡👇

Argentière Glacier north faces today! 🏔️ 🧊❄️ 📷 @lomdumtblanc.bsky.social 🙏
