In the opinion of M. Auguste Bouchayer, scientist and engineer, there were no glaciers<\/span> in Europe in the Middle Ages.<\/div>\n
In a recent communication to the Dauphine Scientific Society, he submits the conclusion that since the Middle Ages there has been a considerable fall in the maximum summer temperature.<\/div>\n
Consequently winter snows and ice accumulations which were formerly melted in summer are no longer dissipated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Mont Blanc, he points out, is under 16,000 ft. in height, and, as in the thirteenth century the maximum summer temperature was capable of melting snow and ice at a much greater height than that, there could in those times be no eternal snow on its summit.<\/div>\n
Glaciers, he adds, are dependant for their formation and existence on eternal snows; therefore, there can have been no glaciers<\/span> on Mont Blanc in the Middle Ages.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
