Are you brave enough to 'Step into the Void'?
-
Does the CN Tower's glass floor leave your heart racing? Chamonix Mont-Blanc, in the French Alps, takes the thrill one step further with an entire room made of glass.
The "Step into the Void" installation is a five-sided glass structure on the top terrace of the Aiguille du Midi mountain, with a 1,035-metre drop below. Visitors can step out from the terrace to get the impression of standing in a void. Each pane of glass is 12 millimetres thick and the structure can handle winds of up to 220 km/h.Watch your step: A journalist, wearing slippers to protect the glass floor, stands in the 'Step into the Void' installation during a press visit at the Aiguille du Midi mountain peak above Chamonix, in the French Alps, December 17, 2013.
