Glacier de l'Arve, Alpine glacier in Haute-Savoie, France.
The glacier extended over 70 kilometers through the Arve Valley, flowing between the massifs of Aravis, Bornes, Giffre, and Chablais mountains.
The Arve Glacier formed during various glacial periods, originating in the Chamonix Valley and merging with the Rhone Glacier near Lake Geneva.
The glacier system influenced alpine communities, leading to the development of mountain exploration and scientific research in the French Alps.
Research stations and observation points along the former glacier path allow scientists to study climate patterns and geological formations in the region.
During maximum glaciation periods, the ice mass reached heights exceeding 2000 meters at the exit of Chamonix Valley.
