The idea of a mountain growing may sound strange, but that is exactly what happens. Its height can even change in just a few years, as has occurred with Mont Blanc which, according to measurements released in France on Wednesday, now reaches 4,807.47 metres above sea level, almost two metres more than in 2023.
The new calculations were carried out on 17 September by experts from the Haute-Savoie Departmental Chamber of Surveyors, whose territory includes part of the mountain shared by France and Italy.
