#Repost @natgeo with @repostapp ・・・ Photo by @james_balog. Glacial ice retreats from the Aiguille du Midi in Chamonix Valley, France. The name "Aiguille du Midi" translates to Needle of the Mid-day. The mountain lies southeast of the town of Chamonix and, when seen from in front of the town's church, the sun passes over its summit at noon.
