At the previous measurement in 2021, Mont Blanc was estimated to be 4,807.81 metres high, two metres higher than today. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The roof of the Alps currently measures <\/strong>4 805.59 metres according to the latest estimate revealed on Thursday 5 October in Chamonix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This difference can be explained by variations in rainfall over the summer. A phenomenon already observed in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the 10 highest peaks in France? <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Mont Blanc could very well be much higher in two years' time, when the next measurement is taken.<\/em>said Jean des Garets, President of the Haute-Savoie Chamber of Surveyors, at the press briefing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We're collecting data for future generations, we're not here to interpret it, we'll leave that to the scientists.<\/em>. \"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modelling the ice cap and collecting data <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Haute-Savoie Chamber of Chartered Surveyors has been organising these surveys every two years since 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n

This makes it the 12the<\/sup> edition of this operation, which aims to model the ice cap and collect scientific data on the impact of climate change on the Alpine mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I get to the Ice Grotto in Chamonix?<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

European glaciers, which are particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures because of their relatively low altitude, lost around a third of their volume between 2000 and 2020, according to data compiled by scientists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The melting of glaciers in the French Alps during the summer of 2022 has been described as follows \"exceptional<\/em>representing around 5 to 7 % of the remaining ice mass, according to glaciologists.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
