Description A glacier between the Helbronner and the Aiguille Du Midi Peaks on the Monte Bianco, the highest mountain in Europe. This area, located at about 3500mt of altitude, was italian territory, but got assigned to France after the World War II. Some groups of alpinists are visible on the glacier slope on the left of the image.

Panorama pic, 4 images stitched. Original size is about 6590x1450px.

Full view recommended. Thanks for viewing.

mmm ... 'it gives me thrills along my spine' ... well, i tolerate flying well enough ... but i would have to change the word 'thrills' to 'chills'

thrills.

Love this shot. The textures between the snow, the clouds and the rocky outcroppings on either side are really awesome. Also love the ridges in the ice/snow sliding down the mountain on the left. Very cool! Well done!

That angle gives the feeling that the clouds are coming like an avalanche

Real beautiful picture

thanks
the title comes somehow from there... there's not a precipice behind the glacier, but from where i was when i took the shots it looked just like world's edge, with those clouds coming up from "nowhere"

Nice
And I almost always like panorama's, but with the snow and the clouds it's very good looking.
