"Mont Blanc (French for white mountain) or Monte Bianco (Italian, same meaning) also known as "La Dame Blanche" (French, the white lady), in the Alps, is the highest mountain in Western Europe. Its height is about 4,808 m (15,774 feet), but varies from year to year by a few metres, depending on snowfall and climate conditions. The latest measure of its height (in December 2005) showed that the summit was 4 808.75 m high. At this altitude, there is only 56% as much oxygen available as there is at sea level.[1] More about the height of Mont Blanc is given below.
Mont Blanc is the highest mountain in Europe, assuming the Caucasus Mountains are excluded; it has been argued that, geographically and culturally, the Caucasus are at least as much Asian as European."
