Friday 15 September 2017 2 minutes reading time
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary, the "Cleaning Up the Mer de Glace" operation comes back with the name "Operation Montagne Responsable" and is sponsored by European Mobility Week. The Mer de Glace glacier, in Italian "Sea of ​​Ice", is 7 km long and every summer attracts thousands of tourists more or less beneducated.
There will be about 100 volunteers who will battle the glacier in search of waste. As it is said, it begins today when there will be an exhibition in the famous French town to show the objects found on the glacier at the Lafuma store. Then the cleaning operation starts with the Montenvers station. In the past, the wastes found were of the most varied types: from skis, to boxes, to large pieces of wood taken from the shelters' constructions.

Argentera
Argentera si trova nell’alta Valle Stura, a pochi chilometri dal Colle della Maddalena e dal confine francese, in uno degli ambienti più appartati e selvaggi delle Alpi Marittime. Il comprensorio si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Bersezio, tra circa 1.630 e 2.500 metri di quota, in un paesaggio di lariceti e pendii d’alta montagna dominato dall’Oserot e dalla Rocca dei Tre Vescovi.
