Tré-la-tête glacier, the mountain packing, 1930

This photograph was taken in 1930 over a tongue of the Tré-la-Tête glacier. It reveals the mountaineering equipment used by forest and water agents working on glaciology. The bag holder takes the photograph, as photography has been a means of study and communication since the late 1880s.
