In its strictest sense, the Mer de Glace can be considered as originating at an elevation of 2,100 metres (6,900 ft), just north of the Aiguille du Tacul, where it is formed by the confluence of the Glacier de Leschaux and the Glacier du Tacul. The former is fed by the Glacier du Talefre, whilst the latter is, in turn, fed by the Glacier des Periardes, the vast Glacier du Géant and the broad icefields of the Vallee Blanche. The Glacier du Tacul supplies much more ice than the Glacier de Leschaux
However, if the Mer de Glace is considered in its broadest sense (i.e. from source to tongue), it is a compound valley glacier, gaining ice from snowfields that cover the heights directly north of Mont Blanc at an altitude of around 4,000 metres. It flows for a total distance of 12 kilometres, covering an area of 32 square kilometres in the central third of the Mont Blanc massif.
From the Aiguille du Tacul, the Mer de Glace flows north-north-west between Aiguille du Moine on the east and Trélaporte on the west. It descends below Montenvers, at which point it is approximately 0.5 km wide, and descends to approximately 1,500 metres (4,900 ft). The glacier was once easily visible from Chamonix but has been shrinking backwards, and is now barely visible from below. The surface topography of the Mer de Glace changed very little during the first third of the 20th century, but from 1939 to 2001 the surface of the glacier has lowered an average of 30 cm each year, corresponding to an equivalent loss of 700 million cubic metres of water (Wikipedia).
Samedi matin. Avant de partir à La Foa. Le lever de soleil est agréable sur le Mont Dore, il fait bon, un café dans le jardin avant que la vie s'éveille... Histoire de tester mon nouvel objectif Canon.

Saturday morning. Before going to La Foa. Sunset on Mont Dore is amazing. The weather is fine, have a cup of coffee in my backyard and admire the view over the lagoon. Just trying my new Canon lens.

Après une semaine de plongé dans la mer d'Andaman, lors d'une escale avant de reprendre l'avion, nous avons pu aller visiter Phuket Town. En haut de Phuket Town où siège un Bouddha de grande taille, à la nuit tombée le ciel donna un effet chaotique de cette mer.
Au premier plan les Drus et ses trois grandes cascades, juste derrière, l'aiguille Verte, la point Groz, la Dent du géant, et, sur l'autre rive de la mer de glace, l'aiguille du Grépon.
Merci de votre visite et n'hésitez pas à laisser un commentaire.

This morning was super rainy and I found this little lady swimming down the drain. Isn't she a cutie?
Taken for ODC: Heads or Tail?
A view down from the Rochefort ridge at an altitude of 3933 m. Finally, we got perfect weather with crystal clear air. A weather perturbation brought a lot of new snow on the slopes the day before. The clouds in the distance are the remnants of this low pressure. Mer de Glace in the center.
