Crossing the Mer de Glace at Chamonix, France: A Scene of Grand Alpine Tourism in the Late 19th Century This evocative photograph captures a smartly attired group of travelers making their way across the Mer de Glace, or Sea of Ice, in Chamonix, France, circa 1880. The Mer de Glace is Europe's largest glacier, and its icy expanse has long been a draw for intrepid tourists seeking adventure and breathtaking vistas. The image presents a striking contrast between the pristine, otherworldly beauty of the glacier and the elegant, Victorian-era attire of the travelers. The group, which includes both men and women, is dressed in their finest clothing, complete with umbrellas and walking sticks, as they carefully navigate the icy terrain. The women wear long, full skirts and bonnets, while the men don top hats and frock coats. The scene is one of leisurely exploration, with the travelers taking their time to appreciate the grandeur of their surroundings. The group appears to be on a guided tour, as evidenced by the presence of a tour guide, who leads the way with a large umbrella. The tour guide's distinctive attire, which includes a red fez and a long, black coat, sets him apart from the other travelers. The Mer de Glace was a popular destination for tourists in the late 19th century, and the image offers a glimpse into the early days of Alpine tourism. The advent of affordable travel and improved transportation made it possible for more people to explore the Alps, and the region became a symbol of luxury and adventure. Today, the Mer de Glace remains a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the beauty and majesty of the Alps firsthand.
