Alps, the natural wonder of the world

The Alps is a world-famous scenic spot and tourist attraction with charming scenery, which is called the real landscape exhibition hall and natural palace by the world.

The Alps is the highest mountain range in Europe, located in the south of Europe, with an arc-shaped east-west trend, about 1200 km long and an average elevation of 3000 meters. The highest peak is Mont Blanc, with an altitude of 48 10 meters. The mountains are magnificent and beautiful, and many peaks are covered with snow all year round. Glittering snow peaks, dense forests and clear mountain running water together constitute the charming scenery of the Alps.

The Alps decorate the European continent with its majesty. It is the largest mountain glacier center in Europe, with more than 1000 modern glaciers with a total area of 3,600 square kilometers. About10.5 billion years ago, the present Alps were still a part of the ancient Mediterranean, and then the land gradually rose, forming a tall Alps. The crust of the whole mountain area is still unstable and earthquakes are frequent. In the past million years, Europe experienced several major ice ages, and the Alps formed a very typical glacial terrain.

The Alps are covered by ice sheets as thick as 1000 meters. Many peaks in Tinde are steep and rugged, handsome and straight, including glacier cliffs, Tinde, hanging valleys, ice lakes and other natural wonders formed by glacier erosion, and moraine landforms formed by glacier accumulation. Alpine glaciers present polar scenery and are a good place for mountaineering and skiing.
