Mont Blanc Glacier, Alpine glacier near Courmayeur, Italy.
The Mont Blanc Glacier extends across steep slopes at 2400 meters elevation, creating numerous ice formations along the Italian mountainside.
The glacier has shaped the Alpine landscape for thousands of years, serving as a critical water source for the Aosta Valley region.
Local mountaineering guides maintain centuries-old traditions by leading expeditions across the glacier, teaching visitors about Alpine navigation and safety.
Visitors can access the glacier viewing points through the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car system, which operates daily from Courmayeur.
The glacier produces distinct ice caves and crevasses that change location and shape throughout the seasons due to ice movement.
