The Mer de Glace is the largest glacier in France, located in the Alps near Chamonix. It is approximately 7 kilometers long and offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. Visitors can access the glacier by taking the Montenvers train, which takes them to an observation point with panoramic views. From there, one can descend via a staircase or take a cable car to reach the glacier's surface. The Mer de Glace is a popular tourist attraction and a starting point for various mountain activities such as hiking, climbing, and skiing. Unfortunately, due to climate change, the glacier has been retreating over the years.
