Argentière Glacier, Alpine glacier in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.
The Argentière Glacier extends from the Mont-Blanc massif down through steep terrain, reaching elevations between 1600 and 3400 meters in the French Alps.
The glacier's terminal point reached the Argentière temple at 1250 meters elevation during the early 20th century, marking a period of greater glacial extension.
The glacier's presence has influenced the development of mountaineering traditions in the region, shaping local guides' expertise and climbing techniques.
Visitors can access the glacier through a 10-kilometer hiking trail starting at the Grands Montets cable car parking area, with a total elevation gain of 980 meters.
The terminal section of the glacier has separated from its main body at approximately 1900 meters, creating a distinct geological formation in the Alpine landscape.
