An Alpine summer on the Mont Blanc / Monte Bianco massif. In August, meltwater tumbles down channels and fissures in the streaked rock below high altitude snowfields and the end of glaciers snaking down the rugged slopes. Image captured from close to Entrèves, Courmayeur, Valle d’Aosta, Italy, near the Italian entrance to the km ( m) Mont Blanc Tunnel, which has provided a road link between France and Italy since 1965.
