Summary: "Ascendo al Monto-Blanka en 1787" by Horace Bénédict de Saussure is a scientific publication likely written in the late 18th century. This work recounts the author's expedition as he attempted to ascend Mont Blanc, one of the highest peaks in the Alps. De Saussure's account is significant not only for its narrative but also for the scientific observations he makes regarding the environment and physical conditions encountered at high altitudes. The book narrates de Saussure's determined journey to reach the summit of Mont Blanc, following initial ascents completed by others. His expedition, accompanied by several guides and his servant, involves detailed descriptions of the treacherous paths, weather conditions, and the physical challenges faced during the ascent. As he navigates icy terrain and dangerous crevasses, de Saussure emphasizes the importance of preparation and the use of scientific instruments for observation. The climax of his journey culminates in reaching the peak, where he admires the breathtaking views and conducts scientific experiments, thereby providing a valuable perspective on both the natural world and the human spirit's capacity for exploration.
