Bossons Glacier

The Bossons Glacier is one of the larger glaciers of the Mont Blanc massif in the Alps, in the Chamonix valley of France Haute-Savoie department. Fed by icefields on the northern side of Mont Blanc, it descends close to the Aiguille du Midi and ends on the southern side of the Arve valley near the town of Chamonix. It has the largest altitudinal drop of any alpine glacier in Europe and once extended much further down the valley than it does today, now running about 7.5 kilometers long with a surface area of roughly 10 square kilometers.
