ALG-466, Frison-Roche Arch, Ti-Spad Area. 18.0 meter span
(measured). This great arch is located 100 meters to the north of Epaulet Arch (ALG-463). Roger Frison-Roche (1906-1999) is a famous french mountaineer who has visited the Tassili
Plateau several times in the past. Here is an extract from this book Carnets Sahariens:
"Here, the richness of Nature's enchantment surpasses that of all human architecture: one
goes from one marvel to another. Now, over our heads, immense dragons open their maws;
now, petrified human figures stand on eternal guard, sentinals in the midst of a clearing . . .
to swarm suddenly out through a giant natural arch in a fantastic village made of
sandstone." This is particulary true here.
