A lot of patience was required to assemble the 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle of this amazing photograph by Yann Arthus-Bertrand.
It can not be seen clearly, as this accompanying photo is quite small, but at the pinnacle of the tallest peak is a building! This 3,842 metre high mountain is named "Aiguille du Midi", which translates literally as "needle of midday". It is so called as the sun sits directly over the peak at noon, when viewed from Chamonix. The summit is reached by cable car and contains a panoramic viewing platform, a cafe and a gift shop.
