Glacier de Frêney, Alpine glacier in Val Veny, Italy.
The Glacier de Frêney extends across the Mont Blanc massif's southern face, featuring deep crevasses and ice formations between 2,335 and 4,120 meters above sea level.
Multiple avalanches have shaped this glacier's history, including a significant 1959 event that created a 730-meter-wide ice mass affecting nearby hiking paths.
Local mountaineers and researchers frequently monitor this glacier's conditions, making it a central point for studying climate patterns in the Italian Alps.
The Monzino Refuge serves as a base camp for glacier observation, providing shelter and access points for climbers during the summer climbing season.
The glacier's position between Peuterey Ridge and Innominata Ridge creates a natural amphitheater formation, collecting snow and ice from surrounding peaks.
