In 1949, Mario Fantin documented a summit excursion on Mont Blanc. The sequence shows the beginning of a day in the high mountains. Amidst the play of light and shadow, the sun gradually illuminates the Dôme du Goûter or another glacial peak, while subtitles read: "The new day floods the Dôme with sun!", "...even more light!", and "The ice begins to sparkle again...". The shots alternate between panoramic views of the snowy mountains and close-ups of crevasses and ice, emphasizing the majesty and verticality of the alpine landscape.
