Mer de Glace, Mont Blanc, France. c1880

Mer de Glace, Mont Blanc, France. c1880. In the 19th centuries the glacier descended all the way down to the hamlet of Les Bois, where it was known as Glacier des Bois. At that time the river Arveyron emerged from the glacier under a grotto-like vault (grotte d'Arveyron)and attracted painters and later photographers. The position of its front end fluctuated over the years but its maximum extent was in the mid 1800s.
