What happened
France's tallest mountain was nearly two metres higher last month than its last reported measurement in 2023, surveyors said Wednesday, putting the Alpine peak at 4,807.47 metres (15,772.5 feet). Researchers have been measuring the mountain every two years to three years since 2001, hoping to garner information about the impact of climate change on the Alps.
