"In the evening of 9 August - Chamonix. The grandeur of nature tells us about God as does Christian art or the memory of the Saints. The Bossons! Mont Blanc! La Mer de glace. We had sufficiently clear weather. The Bossons descend from Mont Blanc like cascades of ice. Without any doubt they are the largest glaciers in Europe.
