...Many of the high mountains, including Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe, have steep rock faces carved by glaciers, and glaciers still remain today. The Rhône River, which collects water from these mountains and flows down, is as fast as a Japanese river and carries a large amount of sediment, forming a delta area called the Camargue at its mouth, and while it has brought former ports inland, such as the town of Aigues-Mortes, it has expanded the land used for rice cultivation and grazing. *Some of the terminology explanations that mention "camargue" are listed below.

…ヨーロッパ第一の高峰モン・ブランをはじめ高山の多くには氷河で削られた急峻な岩肌がみえ,今なお氷河も残っている。これらの山の水を集めて流れ下るローヌ川は,日本の河川と同じく急流で,運ぶ土砂の量も多いので,河口にはカマルグcamargueと呼ぶ三角州地帯を形成し,エーグ・モルトの町のように,かつての港を内陸に取り込んでしまう一方,米作や放牧に用いられる土地を拡大している。 ※「camargue」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
