Google doodle celebrates 229th anniversary of Mont Blanc ascent

Today's Google doodle is celebrating the 229th anniversary of the first ascent to Mont Blanc.

Mont Blanc, also known as Monte Bianco is the tallest mountain in the Alps and 11th tallest in the world. In 1760 one Horace Benedict de Saussure offered a rewardto anyone who could climb Mont Blanc. On August 8, 1786, Jacques Balmat and  Michel Paccard became the first people to reach the top of the peak.

In 1808, Marie Paradis became the first woman to successfully climb Mont Blanc.

There is no animation, no gif, no "Google doodle specific" tricks to celebrate the ascent. Today's doodle is just simple illustration of the white peak with mountaineers atop.
