Mont Blanc, France's tallest mountain, has shrunk by over two metres over the past two years. Researchers measured the Alpine peak at 4,805.59 metres.
The rocky peak measures 4,792 metres above sea level, but its thick covering of ice and snow varies in height from year to year depending on wind and weather.
Researchers measure it every two years to garner information about the impact of climate change on the Alps.
