Encyclopedic overview
Mont Blanc ( UK: /ˌmɒ̃ˈblɒ̃(k)/; US: /ˌmɒn(t)ˈblɑːŋk/) is a mountain in the French Alps, rising 4,807.3 m (15,771,9 ft) above sea level, located right at the Franco-Italian border. It is the highest mountain in Europe outside the Caucasus Mountains, the second-most prominent mountain in Europe (after Mount Elbrus in Russia), and the 11th most prominent mountain in the world.
The mountain gives its name to its range, the Mont Blanc massif, which straddles parts of France, Italy, and Switzerland. Mont Blanc's summit lies on the watershed line between the valleys of Ferret and Veny in Italy, and the valleys of Montjoie, and Arve in France. Ownership of the summit area is disputed between France and Italy.
