Melting glacier / Mer de Glace ©DeschampsDamien

"Mer de Glace" during summer 2017.

Mer de glace is the largest and longest glacier in France and the third biggest in the alps after Aletsch and Gorner glacier in switzerland 🗻 The famous Mer de Glace has already lost 120 meters of thickness between 1905 and 2005.

Since the 2000´s, it loses each year, on average, from four to six meters thick and about thirty meters in length ❄️

With the lack of snow last winter and the high temperatures this summer, its going to be another record breaking year 🌍

Biking in Chamonix is being restricted on July and August for a few years now. The trails options are restricted to the minimum for mountain bikers during the high summer season, since 2012 by Mayor decree.

Its sad to see that an activity can take over another in this valley specially when all the lifts access are open. Can't we just share these beautifull mountain trails all the time like anywhere else ?

Aiguille du Gouter 3863m - Chamonix Mont Blanc ©DeschampsDamien

A long exposure of the north face of Aiguille du Gouter, part of the Mont-blanc mountain range, during a autumn afternoon.

Its west face (unseen here) is one of the classic route for mountaineers who attempt to climb Mont Blanc every summers, but its also well known to be a dangerous place because of its numerous rock falls.

Cold Dream ©DeschampsDamien

During a cold night at the basecamp, i was shooting a timelapse of the moon above our camp and the mountains all aound, when i noticed the cirrus clouds starting to grow above the summit of Aiguille Verte.

I instantly stopped the timelapse to make a 30 sec' long exposure shot of what i was witnessing.

This is the first and best shot i have taken from that moment. The cloud was growing to fast. It went quickly too big and spreaded across the whole range, loosing those small details that gives that comet look to the cloud.

The view towards the giants north sided faces from the base camp, our home for 5 days, in may 2017, on the Argentière bassin.

We experienced all kind of weather and all kind of temperatures between -15°C and +15°C, during those 5 days on the glacier but it was worth it for the making of the movie "waking Dream", with Sam Favret, Julien Herry, the Production team, alex Blaise, Jr Cerron and Hensly Sage. Photographers, Jeremy Bernard, Fabian Bodet and me. The guide Christopher Baud and the master chef cook Seb Overney !

Here i stand facing the void, standing on my board, taking pictures of my friend. That perspective is so impressive, it keep you 100% focused on every move you make.

Living life to the fullest where a mistake can leads to huge consequences.
