Why Mer de Glace matters
A cog railway climbs to Montenvers, where you look down on the Mer de Glace glacier. A gondola and stairs lead to an ice cave. The glacier has retreated over the years, a stark view of climate change.
Talking points
- A historic cog train climbs to the viewpoint.
- An ice cave is carved into the glacier.
