36. The White Mountain
Mont Blanc (which means White Mountain) is the highest mountain in Western Europe and in the Alps. For a very long time, it felt impossible to go to the top of the mountain because the proper equipment was not available. However, even after it was possible to go tot the top, there was no photographic evidence for the feat. That is until French photographer, Auguste-Rosalie Bisson, took the first pictures in 1861, and this picture was one of the first he took. But to get to the top with his equipment, he needed a team of 25 porters to carry everything for him.
