Mont Blanc du Tacul
Culminating between the Aiguille du Midi and Mont-Maudit, Mont Blanc du Tacul (4,248 m) stands like a fortress, punctuated by seracs and crevasses. An emblematic stopover on the Mont Blanc normal route from the Aiguille du Midi, it offers a striking backdrop to the mythical summits around it, from the Verte to the Grandes Jorasses.
Thomas Crauwels sees it as a place of contrasts, where the brilliance of a suspended glacier is juxtaposed with the verticality of the ridges. In his images, the subtle nuances between dawn and dusk transform the snow into an infinite palette of whites and grays. To capture Mont Blanc du Tacul is to seize the moment when the high mountain reveals both its grace and its ruggedness, reminding us that altitude is always a territory to be conquered with humility.
