Europe’s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, always looks impressive from Geneva – but it’s getting smaller.
Every few years researchers climb to the summit to get an accurate reading and the latest result shows it’s down a meter from four years ago at 4,807.81. That’s also three meters smaller than 2007.
