Mont Blanc shrinks 1.29m in a year, now 4,807.47m

Surveyors report Mont Blanc's summit has lost 1.29 meters in elevation over the past year, now measuring 4,807.47 meters. The change is attributed to reduced snow accumulation and drier conditions, though measurement variability remains. This continues a trend of fluctuating summit heights, with the long-term significance for glacier and climate monitoring still uncertain.
