Blanc quickly “reduced” in size

It is not known what caused the size change of the main mountains of Europe.

For two years the height of the famous peak of Europe decreased by centimeter.

The height of the famous peak in Europe, Mont Blanc, located in the Alps, on the border of France and Italy, 808,72 is 4 meters. Over the past two years, it decreased by 1 centimeter. On it informs Agency AFP.

Meanwhile, in 2015, it was 4 808,73 meters, in 2013 – 4 810,02 meters, and in 2007 – 4 811 meters. The height of the mountain varies with the magnitude of the ice caps, which in turn depends on the amount of precipitation, speed of wind and temperature in each particular year. For example, in June 2017, Blanc was still lower than in August (4808,06 meters). Scientists explain this by the fact that the winter was very cold and the snow does not remain on top.

According to scientists, the height of the “roof of Europe” is measured every two years for 18 years. Measurements carried out by the experts of the Haute Savoie.
