在夏蒙尼针的顶端

在这些戏剧性的云层中，米地之针（Aiguille du Midi，正午之针）的碎片状尖顶就像一座被毁坏的阿尔卑斯大教堂的尖顶。这只是勃朗峰山脉众多壮观山峰中的一座，勃朗峰是法国东部的阿尔卑斯山脉，横跨边界延伸至意大利和瑞士。18世纪中期，登山运动在法国夏蒙尼山谷成为一项体育运动。1818年，这一戏剧性的高峰首次达到顶峰，这一壮举有助于在整个欧洲普及登山运动。

With these dramatic clouds, the shardlike pinnacles of the Aiguille du Midi (Needle of Midday) resemble the spires of a ruined Alpine cathedral. This is just one of the many spectacular peaks of the Mont Blanc massif, the storied Alps range in eastern France that stretches across the border into Italy and Switzerland. It was here in France's Chamonix valley that mountaineering became a sport in the mid-1700s. This dramatic peak was first summited in 1818, a feat that helped to popularize mountain climbing throughout Europe.
