It was not untill 1786 that human beings trekked up to the highest point of the Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps.
On August 8, 1786, two Frenchmen - Dr Michael Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat – created history by becoming first people to ascend the summit of Mont Blanc.
Mont Blanc, also known as Monte Bianco,or White Mountain, is the highest peak in Europe outside of the Caucasus range. It rises 4,807 m (15,771 ft) above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world in topographic prominence.
In order to commemorate the 229th anniversary of the historic ascent to the 'White Mountain', Google on Saturday created a special doodle for its homepage.
The doodle depicts two men reaching the top of the marvellous snow-capped Mont Blanc. Giving close resemblance to nature, the doodle also creates a sense of tranquillity with green forests at the foothills of the ice covered mountain.
The first woman to reach the summit was Marie Paradis in 1808. It is said that now the summit is ascended by an average 20,000 mountaineer-tourists each year..

On August 8, 1786, two Frenchmen made history.
Michael Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat became the first people to ascend the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps and one of the most sought-after climbs in the entire world. Now, 229 years after the pair reached the summit, unofficially sparking modern mountaineering, the accomplishment is being celebrated in the August 8 Google Doodle.
1. Frenchmen Michael Gabriel Paccard & Jacques Balmat Were the First to Reach the Top in 1786:-
After hundreds of failed attempts by dozens of aspiring mountaineers, Frenchmen Michael Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat made history when they became the first people to reach the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps. The mountain rises 15,711 feet above sea level and is ranked No. 11 in the world in topographic prominence. The pair, who lived in the town at the base of the mountain in Chamonix, ascended the summit on August 8, 1786, climbing the mountain from the Chamonix valley.
The accomplishment was, and still is, considered historic and a watershed moment in mountaineering. Eric Shipton, a British Himalayan mountaineer, described the feat, writing in his book Mountain Conquest:
Theirs was an astounding achievement of courage and determination, one of the greatest in the annals of mountaineering. It was accomplished by men who were not only on unexplored ground but on a route that all t

Herman Melville, celebrated author and the man behind the all-time classic Moby-Dick, is the inspiration behind Thursday's Google doodle.
Moby-Dick is the great epic of whales and waling. It tells the story of Ahab, Captain of the Pequod, and of his revenge-mission and insane pursuit of Moby Dick, the fierce white whale. Among Ahab's crew is Ishmael, a young man undergoing a gruelling rite of passage and pursuing a different salvation. As the Pequod circles the globe like a latter-day Noah's Ark, so Moby Dick ranges and digresses through space and time, through mythologies, religions and philosophies.
The Google doodle depicts a scene from the book where Captain Ahab leads a boat to strike at the huge white whale.
Herman Melville had written Typee and Omoo before he wrote, what he believed was his masterpiece, Moby-Dick. He was shocked by the less-than-flattering reception the book received. One critic described it as '[A]n ill-compounded mixture of romance and matter-of-fact. The idea of a connected and collected story has obviously visited and abandoned its writer again and again in the course of composition. The style of his tale is in places disfigured by mad (rather than bad) English; and its catastrophe is hastily, weakly, and obscurely managed.'
It wasn't until way after Herman Melville's death and the end of World War I that Herman Melville was rediscovered and Moby-Dick fou

Mountain View, California: Google has marked Swiss Freudian psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Hermann Rorschach’s 129th birth anniversary with an interactive inkblot doodle.
Rorschach is pictured sitting on a chair with a pen and notepad in the background while a pair of hands is seen holding a paper containing an inkblot in front of the screen.
Users can click on the arrow tabs on either side of the paper to see different inkblots and share their interpretation on Google Plus, Facebook or Twitter.
Born in Zurich, Switzerland on 8 November 1884, Rorschach grew up in Schaffhausen and was known to his friends as Klecks, or 'inkblot' for his love of klecksography, the making of inkblot 'pictures'.
Rorschach enrolled in medical school at the University of Zurich after high school on the advice of German biologist Ernst Haeckel to whom he had written about his predicament of choosing between a career in art and one in science.
While studying medicine, Rorschach started using inkblots as a tool of psychoanalysis as he was intrigued by the differing responses when people are shown the same inkblots.
In 1921, Rorschach published a book called Psychodiagnostik which form the basis of his inkblot test. Although the inkblots were considered scientifically worthless by several psychologists, they were a huge success with the public due to the seemingly astounding behaviour rea
