By Katie Stallard, Sky News Correspondent, French Alps
The crash site is located in a remote mountain range in the southern Alps. It's extremely difficult to access - through treacherous terrain, and at altitude.
Search and rescue teams are using helicopters to transport workers and equipment to the scene.
Sky News has managed to reach the area by trekking eight hours through the mountains on foot.
The journey involved negotiating sections of dense undergrowth and steep uphill climbs, and was only possible with the help of an experienced local mountaineer.
The wreckage is concentrated in an isolated ravine at an altitude of around 2,000 metres.
From a vantage point overlooking the scene we could see debris from the Germanwings plane, including what appeared to be part of the landing gear.
We saw bright yellow life jackets scattered across the hillside.
Amongst the dark rocks of the steep ravine are hundreds, perhaps thousands of tiny fragments - the last traces of the 150 lives that ended here.
Emergency workers have secured the site - to preserve any possible forensic evidence, and the dignity of those who were on board.
We watched police helicopters working in relay until darkness fell, flying back and forth to the scene.
This will be a long and extremely challenging operation, but all those involved understand the importance of finding the answers the families so desperately need.
