Chamonix

 

Mer De Glace

There is a special train that takes you to the Mer de Glace, after which you climb down all of these steps to get to the bottom

 

From those steps, this is what you see - the glacier cave

 

From way up high, the first sight of the glaicer is something like this, weather permitting
It can be hiked, but it's dangerous and only with experienced guides (I think there is a string of people above the tip of the pine tree)

 

The blueish colored walls

 

And here the view from inside toward the entrance
