Mont Blanc (4810 m) is called the roof of Europe, as it is the highest peak of the Western part of the Old world. It is on the border of Italy and France and from afar sparkling snow-white peaks. No coincidence that the name "Mont Blanc" means "white mountain".
The first conquest of Mont Blanc dates back to the XVIII century, and since then, he's especially fond of the climbers. The ascent to the summit takes five to seven days, and it can not be called easy: on top of the mountain is covered with glaciers and old snow.

Mountain range, which includes Mont Blanc, was formed about 40 million years ago the collision of two huge tectonic plates. Such ancient education attracts not only climbers, but also historians, who not so long ago have discovered the mummified remains of a distant human ancestor that were hidden in ice and snow more than 5000 years.
