Three klicks under

Traveling to France I drove under the Mont Blanc last Friday.

Mont Blanc Tunnel

When you're focusing on keeping a safe distance from the car in front of you using the lines of blue LEDs as a guide, 11 kilometers don't seem that long.

Only after a day or so I realized that at the deepest point I was under 3.5 km of rocks. In a car, no less.

With all the glaciers and mountains around it it's easy to overlook what an engineering feat this tunnel is.
