No peak in western Europe surpasses the majestic heights of the Alps' Mont Blanc, and its enchanting beauty is matched only by the tremendous dangers posed by the immense amount of water contained within its icy exterior, regarded as "killer lakes" with the potential to wreak horrifying damage. This adventurous "Nova" program recounts an 1892 tragedy involving such a disaster and voyages deep beneath the glacier's surface. 60 min.
