				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Mont Blanc</strong> is the highest mountain of the European continent which is located in the <strong>Alps Mountain Range</strong> having the elevation of 4,810 m (15,781 ft) above sea level. <strong><em>Mont Blanc, the white queen of the Alps</em> </strong>is one of the famous <strong>Seven Summits</strong> which is popular in the world for hiking, skiing, snowboarding and mountaineering adventure. Mont Blanc lies in a range called the <strong>Graian Alps</strong>, between the regions of <strong>Asota</strong> valley of <strong>Italy,</strong> and  Haute-Savoie, <strong>France</strong>. Mont Blanc is also known as <strong>Monte Bianco</strong> which is an Italian word meaning, “ <strong>The White Mountain</strong>”. The summit of Mont Blanc is a thick, perennial ice and snow dome whose thickness varies. No exact and permanent summit elevation can therefore be determined, though accurate measurements have been made on specific dates.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><em>Mont Blanc, the white queen of the Alps</em> </strong>has several climbing routes, however, the most popular of them is  the <b>Voie Des Cristalliers</b>, also known as the <b>Voie Royale . </b>The first recorded ascent of Mont Blanc was on 8 August 1786 by  Jacques Balmat and the doctor  Michel Paccard.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Snowy Owl, the white terror of the North</strong> is biologically known as <strong><em>Bubo scandiacus </em></strong>which is a large, diurnal white <strong>owl</strong> with a rounded head, yellow eyes and black bill. In many parts of the world, the snowy owl is called with different names like the <strong>Arctic Owl</strong>, <strong>Great White Owl</strong>, <strong>Harfang,</strong> <strong>Ghost Owl, Ermine Owl, Tundra Ghost, Ookpik</strong> etc.</p>
<div id="attachment_4956" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 599px"><a href="http://www.thelovelyplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/snowy_owl.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-4956" title="Snowy owl ( Stephen Oachs Image )" src="http://www.thelovelyplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/snowy_owl.jpg" alt="" width="589" height="378" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Snowy owl ( Stephen Oachs Image )</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> The Snowy Owl is a bird of Arctic <strong>tundra</strong> or open grasslands and fields. They are hardly seen in the forested areas. They love to dwell along lakeshores, marine coastlines, marshes, and even roost on buildings in cities and towns. In the Arctic, they normally roost on pingaluks (rises in the tundra) and breed from low valley floors up to mountain slopes and plateaus over 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) in elevation. The population of the snowy owl is widespread almost in the whole arctic regions and North America. In <strong>Canada</strong>, the snowy owl is the official bird of<strong> Quebec</strong>.</p>
<div id="attachment_4963" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 598px"><a href="http://www.thelovelyplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/snowy_bird2.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-4963" title="Snowy owl with magnificent flight ( James R. Page's Image )" src="http://www.thelovelyplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/snowy_bird2.jpg" alt="" width="588" height="397" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Snowy owl with magnificent flight ( James R. Page&#39;s Image )</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Snowy Owl is a strictly nomadic bird and it is considered a species of least concern. The average length of the snowy owl is about 20–28 inches, with a 49–59 inches wingspan. Similarly the snowy owl can weigh anywhere from 1.6 to 3 kilograms so in this way it is one of the largest and heaviest species of owl. Their vocalization includes <em>krek-krek</em>; the female also has a softer mewling <em>pyee-pyee</em> or <em>prek-prek</em>. But they can also chirp in various ways.</p>
<div id="attachment_4966" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 484px"><a href="http://www.thelovelyplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/snowy_owl_pair.jpg"><img class=" wp-image-4966" title="A pair of snowy owls ( A winnu image )" src="http://www.thelovelyplanet.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/snowy_owl_pair.jpg" alt="" width="474" height="566" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">A pair of snowy owls ( A winnu image )</p></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Snowy Owl may eat small mammals like hares, squirrels, rats, rodents, marmots, songbirds and gulls. The average quantity of the diet of the Snowy Owl is roughly 7 to 12 mice per day to meet its food requirement and can eat more than 1,600 lemmings per year. The <strong>Snowy Owl</strong> is also called <strong>the white terror of the North</strong> and they were specifically a part of the ancient myths and legends. Because of their marvelous way of hunting, the snowy owl was a symbol of chivalry.</p>
