    Great vantage point, unfortunately the glacier has already retreated too far so that only its traces can be seen ...

    The Mer de Glace, in English Arctic Ocean, is the largest glacier in France and the Mont-Blanc group and the fourth largest glacier in the Alps. The Mer de Glace is approx. 12 km long and varies in width between 700 and 1950 m. The ice has a maximum thickness of 420 m.
