The disappearing glaciers of Mont Blanc

Описание к видео The disappearing glaciers of Mont Blanc

The changes since I first visited the Mer de Glace, Bossons, Argentiere and Tour glaciers are staggering. It's not a happy story.
It's worth checking the book "Mer de Glace: art et science" (Nussbaumer et al., 2012)....
