Frequently Asked Questions ▾
Where is Glacier de Taconnez?
The Glacier de Taconnez flows from the south-western flanks of Mont Blanc above Chamonix, visible from the lower valley and from the Bionnassay Ridge above Saint-Gervais. It is one of the smaller glaciers of the Mont Blanc Massif but displays the characteristic crevasse patterns and ice textures that make glacier photography so compelling.
What does this print show?
The print captures the Glacier de Taconnez in black and white — the ice flowing from Mont Blanc's flanks above Chamonix, the glacier's surface textures and crevasse patterns visible in dramatic monochrome.
How do crevasses form in a glacier?
Crevasses form when a glacier flows over a change in slope or around a bend in its valley, causing the brittle upper layer of ice to crack and fracture. The deeper ice below remains plastic and continues to flow, while the surface cracks open into the crevasses visible from above. In areas of rapid flow or steep terrain, crevasse fields can be extremely complex and dangerous, with snow bridges hiding gaps that may be metres deep. Crevasse patterns change continuously as the glacier moves.

I was looking for a large print that had personal meaning for my husband and me. We love biking and hiking around the Matterhorn, and Zermatt has always felt like a magical place to us. The print is incredibly sharp, vibrant, and beautifully produced. It’s exactly what I was hoping for and looks perfect above our mantel.
The calendar is beautiful, I was looking for something that reminded me of home, and it’s perfect. Only small downside is that it’s printed back-and-front, so you can’t look at/take notes for the next month without removing from wall.
Really like the print. Looks great on my wall. Seller was friendly and had no issues with the order. I would definitely recommend.
I got two of the Chamonix calendars for Christmas presents after we spent a magical couple of months admiring the area. They are beautiful! Delivery was quick and they came in good condition. We actually had the pleasure of meeting the photographer behind these stunning photos at an alpine hut, and he is just as funny and kind as he is talented! Definitely recommend supporting this authentic small business.
Veramente ben fatto e alta qualità di stampa consigliato
Seller communicated when was shipping and also to make sure arrived okay. Looks great in my living room.
This picture is exactly as described and how it looks. It’s printed on good paper and doesn’t have a glossy finish which doesn’t make it extra reflective when hanged. The colors are great in person (photo doesn’t do it justice). Highly recommend!
Amazing quality, very happy with my purchases!
Wir sind überglücklich mit dem Resultat. Eine wunderschöne Aufnahme! Vielen Dank für die tolle Arbeit. Es ist schnell und super verpackt bei uns eingetroffen.
Great gift for my daughter. Looks amazing on her walll
We have purchased a few prints from this shop and every time they are just beautiful! The shipping is extraordinarily fast.
Très belle photographie d'un lieu culte à Chamonix.
I’m so happy with the print, the quality is great and it looks better in real life! The print was delivered really promptly and it was well packaged. It was a gift for family and they love it too!
Lovely prints of beautiful landscape. Framed one as a gift and very happy with the results. Wonderful attention to detail from the shop owner.
Beautiful piece! Incredible quick delivery.
