If you freeze water, dear followers – you get ice! MB was hardly going to produce a standard liquid shot for the challenge!!!
MB returns to his glacier in Chamonix, France, for this week’s theme shot, having used a shot inside the glacier for last weeks theme.
MBs below shot features the Dome Du Gouter peak in the French Alps. It is approx 4,300m in height, approx 500m lower than nearby Mont Blanc, making it the 3rd highest peak in the range. The Mer De Glace glacier features in the foreground, which is some 7km long and 200m deep, making it the largest glacier in France. It moves some 70m every year. The caves that featured in MBs shot of last week and other previous posts are drilled out each year.
Beautiful shot, MB. Quite a contrast from the desert, nicht wahr?

Too true J. Chalk & cheeses as it were.

Stunning – I moved from the French Alps to the USA less than a month ago. Your picture is therefore mildly bittersweet but with the emphasis on the sweet 🙂

Dear MB, actually i’m a sun and sea people. Sometimes when i introduce my self other people, i said myself “i’m runing with solar energy:)). But i confess your glacier photos fascinated me against the ice.
