Aiguille Verte, Alpine peak in Le Grand-Bornand, France
The Aiguille Verte reaches an elevation of 2045 meters in the Bornes Massif, featuring a distinctive marlstone composition that shapes its profile.
This geological formation in the Northern Pre-Alps stands as evidence of tectonic movements that formed the Alps millions of years ago.
