Glacier des Bossons
Glacier des Bossons. A glacier is a huge mass of ice formed from compacted snow, moving slowly over a land mass. Glacier des Bossons in the French Alps, is the longest glacier in Europe, measuring around 7 kilometres in length. It is also one of the steepest, with an average inclination of 45 degrees. Where a glacier descends steeply, an icefall often occurs, causing the ice to tumble and crevasses to open. In the background, is the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in western Europe at over 4800 metres. Photographed from Chamonix, France

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking print captures the majestic beauty of Glacier des Bossons in the French Alps. Stretching over 7 kilometers, it proudly holds the title of Europe's longest glacier. Its steep slopes, with an average inclination of 45 degrees, make it one of the most challenging and awe-inspiring natural wonders. As you gaze at this panoramic view, your eyes are drawn to the summit of Mont Blanc, standing tall at a staggering height of over 4800 meters. The rocky mountain peaks create a dramatic backdrop against the icy expanse below. The environment surrounding Glacier des Bossons is truly enchanting. Thick forests filled with coniferous trees blanket the landscape, adding a touch of serenity to this rugged terrain. The frozen panorama evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude. In this glacial paradise, freezing temperatures preserve every detail in pristine clarity. Crevasses open up like cracks in nature's canvas as an icefall occurs when gravity takes hold and causes chunks of ice to tumble down.
