There is an old hotel at the base of the glacier

We descended 326 stairs to explore a cave cut into France's longest glacier -- 4.5 miles long and 700 ft deep!
Alex walked down and back up by himself but
Henry (obviously) and Ruby (3/4 of the time) had to be carried.
Getting into the cave requires crossing this adjustable bridge -- the glacier moves 1 cm per hour
In the heart of the glacier
Henry's favorite part was the freezing cold drips falling on him from the ceiling
Brrr! Where's the hot chocolate?
